Striking pale blue color from the gardenia flowers steeped post-distillation. The nose is classic London Dry, with juniper and coriander leading, followed by bright citrus oil and a soft floral note. The palate is dry, crisp, and mineral-forward with a long, clean finish and no sweetness.
The London No. 1 is distilled at Thames Distillers in London using a copper pot still and a traditional London Dry recipe. The blue color comes from gardenia flowers steeped in the finished spirit, a visual signature that requires no added dye. The recipe uses twelve botanicals including sweet orange peel, angelica root, orris root, and cassia, designed to be the quintessential gin for the classic gin-and-tonic.
