The London No.1 Gin | 47% | 1 l arrives as a bold, English-style gin with a high-strength character that suits both classic cocktails and contemporary serves. Clear and focused in presentation, this gin announces itself with concentrated aromatics and a firm backbone, reflecting its 47% alcohol by volume and its English origin.
On the nose it leans toward juniper-led notes balanced by bright citrus and a touch of warm spice. The aromatic profile is immediate and inviting, with citrus peel and resinous pine lifting the initial impression and subtler spice and herbal echoes appearing as it opens.
On the palate the spirit shows structure and clarity. The higher strength delivers pronounced flavor presence without feeling harsh when tempered with chilled mixers or ice. Expect a dry and lively profile with juniper at the core, citrus brightness cutting through, and a lingering, slightly warming finish.
Serve chilled at around 4–6 °C to emphasize crispness and aroma. This gin is versatile: it works equally well in elevated long drinks, stirred cocktails, or as the bold centre of a simple gin and tonic. It pairs naturally with a wide range of appetizers and savoury dishes.
Tasting profile
Appearance is crystal-clear and uncomplicated, allowing the aromas to take centre stage when poured into a cooled glass.
The nose is juniper-forward with lively citrus peel and an underpinning of warm spice. Herbal notes provide balance and a sense of complexity without overwhelming the primary elements.
Palate delivery is direct and concentrated, carrying bright citrus acidity and piney resin. The 47% ABV gives the spirit body and persistence, creating a full-flavoured mid-palate that rewards slow sipping and mindful mixing.
The finish is dry and extended, with citrus and juniper echoes that linger and a gentle warming sensation that fades cleanly.
Serving suggestions and pairings
As a mixer this gin excels in a classic gin and tonic, where a premium tonic and a long citrus twist will highlight the citrus and juniper notes without masking the spirit’s structure.
For stirred or spirit-forward cocktails, its higher strength helps maintain balance against fortified and bitter ingredients, making it a reliable choice for classic martini-style serves or more contemporary stirred creations.
Food pairings lean toward salty and savoury profiles: crisp, herb-led canapés, charcuterie and pork dishes complement the gin’s herbal and spice tones.
Cheese boards, particularly those with aged or tangy cheeses, work well alongside the spirit’s persistent finish, while rich chocolate desserts create an enjoyable contrast with the gin’s dryness and citrus lift.
Its lively character also suits buffet-style entertaining and social gatherings, where it can be offered in simple, crowd-pleasing cocktails or used by a bartender to craft more complex serves.
