HAYMANS - London Dry Gin

Aroma: A perfectly balanced marriage of crisp juniper and fresh citrus. 

Palate: Bold juniper, bright citrus and warming spice come together.

Conclusion: Citrus and spice gives way to a dry finish with pleasingly earthy notes.

Editor Choice: Unlike other London Dry Gins available today, our True English London Dry Gin is distilled to a 150 year old family recipe using a traditional two-day process.

Steeping the long-standing family recipe of just ten botanicals in English wheat spirit for a full day before distillation creates a fresh, bright and classically balanced gin with crisp citrus, subtle notes of exotic spice and the remarkable depth and complexity traditionally associated with the London Dry style.

Uniquely suited to the classic cocktails of the 19th and early 20th Century that were built around the style, we recommend enjoying our True English London Dry’s crisp complexity in a refreshing G&T or a fortifying classic martini.

The perfect food pairing for Gravadlax or Smoked Salmon, the crisp citrus notes of our True English London Dry Gin cut wonderfully through the oily fish.

Classically paired with tonic water and a twist of lemon peel for a True English G&T.
