York Gin Distillery

Launched in March 2018 in York's countryside with a 300L copper pot still, York Gin's spirits are inspired by the York's history and are made with Yorkshire grain. Their flagship London Dry Gin has been followed by a further 5 gins as well as the opening of a York Gin shop in the city centre and the switch to Yorkshire-made bottles in 2021. The logo is based on a doodle by co-founder Emma Godivala and features York's famous castle and Roman walls, as well as a cat drawing inspired by a cat which appeared in a 17th century woodcut of the Bottesford Witches.

York Gin - London Dry

  • ABV: 42.5% (Base Spirit: Wheat)
  • Botanicals: 9 including juniper, coriander seeds, cardamom, lemon peel, grains of paradise, cinnamon, black pepper
  • Buy: (£35 - £40) direct from York Gin or via​ Master of Malt​ or Amazon
Tasting Notes: Aromas of juniper, gentle spice and citrus. Traditional on the palate with piney juniper, citrus, cardamom spice and subtly floral orris root. A dry and earthy finish with juniper and pepperiness.
Serving & Garnish Suggestion: Gin & Tonic with a garnish of Lemon Peel or Juniper, or in a Martini, Negroni or Gimlet.
The Gin Guide Review: York Gin's London Dry delivers everything you'd want from a traditional dry gin, with its classic trinity of piney juniper, coriander seeds and angelica root, with well-balanced citrus, spice and floral hint of orris root before a peppery finish. It is flavoursome and well-constructed and an impressive example of a traditional gin that York can be proud of. A G&T or any classic gin cocktails make for ideal servings, and lemon peel is an ideal garnish starting point. - Paul Jackson, 2021

Meet the Makers

"We didn’t want to create anything wacky with weird and wonderful botanicals. We’ve had a bit of fun with some other gins, but we were adamant about what we wanted from our London Dry and we’re very, very proud of it!" - Emma Godivala, Co-Founder
