Beefeater Gin Review & Tasting Notes

About Beefeater Gin
Dating back to the 1860s, Beefeater London Dry Gin was first produced by James Burrough, and the botanicals and distillation process remains largely unchanged. The natural botanicals are steeped for 24 hours to extract the flavours and oils, including Seville oranges and lemon peel. The gin is distilled from 100% grain spirit and the name refers to the 'Yeoman Warders' known for guarding the Tower of London.

The Gin Guide Review
Beefeater Gin is a traditional and iconic gin that has been a stalwart of the UK gin market and gin export market for over a century. In comparison to many of the lower cost, mainstream gins, it is smooth and subtle, with more fruity flavours coming through. While of course not being as complex or unusual as many craft gins, it makes a very sound gin and tonic and is a very popular choice for gin cocktails. A British classic. - Paul Jackson, 2015
