It is estimated that this bottle of Gordons Dry Gin probably dates back from the 1910s, pre-DCL takeover and featuring a doctor's note from the back. Features swing-cap.
The gin was developed by Alexander Gordon in Southwark in 1769 and his first recipe was such a success that it hasn't changed to this day.
The exact make-up of botanicals is reported to be juniper berries, coriander seeds, angelica root, orris root, orange, and lemon peel but no official recipe has ever been declared. Kings and Queens all over the world have enjoyed this famous gin and one passenger on the Titanic (who survived) reportedly ordered a glass whilst the ship was sinking.
Presentation: 70cl 40%
