Gordon's Gin - Review & Tasting Notes
About Gordon's Gin
Gordon's Gin was conceived by Scotsman Alexander Gordon in 1769 and was produced in Southwark (London) before moving to Clerkenwell, then Essex, and now Cameronbridge Distillery in Scotland. Gordon's Gin is triple distilled and uses a combination of botanicals that has been kept secret for almost 250 years. Owned by Diageo, Gordon's Gin is one of the top selling gins in the world and its bottles display the royal coat of arms by appointment of Her Majesty the Queen. The Gin Guide Review Gordon's Gin can be found behind almost every bar and its green bottle is instantly recognisable. It's certainly an iconic gin with a long and rich history. Aside from its history, Gordon's is an affordable, mass produced and traditional London Dry Gin. At the low end of the market in terms of price, it compares well with supermarket own brands and makes a reasonable G&T. It doesn't compare to premium craft gins, but it doesn't pretend to either.
