London Dry Gin · 40 % ABV · GB
Four botanicals from four European and North African origins give Barber’s London Dry GinLondon DryA style, not a place of origin: every flavour comes from distilling natural botanicals. After distillation only water and a trace of sugar may be added, with no flavouring or colouring.GlossarySee London Dry gins its direct, traditional character. Croatian juniper, Moroccan coriander, Spanish thyme and French angelica root are brought together in a 40% ABV London dry gin that places dryness and botanical definition ahead of sweetness. The recipe is concise, but each ingredient has a clear role, making this a gin whose identity comes from precision rather than an unusually long botanical list.

Botanicals
Croatian juniper provides the central pine and resin notes. Moroccan coriander brings citrus-edged spice, while Spanish thyme adds a dry herbal accent that becomes especially clear through the middle of the palate. French angelica rootAngelicaThe root of a tall umbellifer, earthy and musky. After juniper and coriander it is the most common botanical: it binds the aromas and holds the finish.Glossary anchors those brighter notes with an earthy, lightly bitter firmness. The four ingredients move in a logical order: juniper first, coriander and thyme through the centre, then angelica drawing the finish back towards a classic dry style.
The nose opens cleanly on juniper, followed by coriander’s freshness and the savoury scent of thyme.
Palate
On the palate, the gin remains taut rather than rounded, with pine, herbs and spice held in close balance. The texture is lean and the alcohol supports the botanicals without turning hot. Angelica gives the finish a root-like dryness, while thyme leaves a final green note that distinguishes Barber’s from citrus-led London dry gins.
Serve
Its spare botanical recipe makes Barber’s well suited to a straightforward gin and tonic or a dry Martini. For a long drink, pour 5 cl over plenty of clear iceClear iceIce without air bubbles, made by slow, directional freezing. Denser, it melts more slowly and dilutes less.Glossary, add 12 cl of Fever-Tree Indian Tonic WaterIndian tonicThe classic tonic: sparkling water, bitter quinine and sugar. The name recalls colonial India, where quinine warded off malaria.Glossary and finish with a narrow lemon peel and a short sprig of thyme. Lemon lifts the coriander without adding sweetness, and thyme recalls one of the gin’s defining botanicals. Keep the garnish restrained so that Croatian juniper remains at the centre of the glass.

Clap the thyme once between your palms before adding it.
