Gipsy Dry Edicion Limitada is a Spanish dry gin released in a run of 1,500 bottles. The producer describes it as markedly dry and maritime, and bottles it at 43% ABV in 70 cl. Those are the useful anchors for the bottle. Its exact botanicals are not published, so this edition should be understood on its own terms rather than filled out with the ingredient list of standard Gipsy Gin.

The first impression is clean and restrained. Dryness shapes the palate from the opening, with a lightly saline or sea-air suggestion behind the gin's firm structure. The maritime description does not imply that the drink tastes literally of seawater; it points instead toward freshness, mineral tension and an absence of heavy sweetness. At 43%, the spirit has enough concentration to remain present after dilution, while the limited edition format gives the distiller space to present a sharper, more austere side of the range.

Because the recipe remains confidential, the most honest tasting approach is to follow texture and balance. A small sip neat reveals the degree of dryness and the length of the finish. A little cold water then shows whether the mineral, herbal and citrus-like impressions expand without forcing them into a botanical list that has never been confirmed. The gin's appeal lies in that uncluttered profile: brisk, controlled and made for drinkers who prefer definition to fruit-led softness.

Serve 4 cl over a full glass of clear ice and add 10 cl of Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water. Add a wide lemon peel and a small sprig of sea fennel to the glass, then present a second pair on a dish beside it. The tonic's softer bitterness supports the dry, maritime character while leaving the finish clean and measured.
