Reasons why gordons gin is one of the best in the world

Gordon’s gin is one of the best gin brands in the world for a variety of reasons. This gin is produced in Britain and New Zealand as well as in other British territories. Marketed in the UK, Greece, Africa and the United States, it is extremely popular with gin drinkers all around the world.

Created by a Scottish gentleman named Alexander Gordon in 1769 this gin has proved itself over the years. The Gordon’s Gin – Special London Dry Gin became very successful and the recipe has not changed since it was first produced. This gin is triple distilled and is made with juniper, coriander seeds and angelica roots along with other aromatic botanicals.

It goes without saying that gordon’s gin – the special London Dry gin is one of best quality. Nothing except for the purest of ingredients are used in its production. No sugar that is generally added to gin of inferior quality to mask the rough and unbalanced spirit, is used in its manufacture.

The reason why gordon’s gin is thrice distilled is to make sure that there is purity as well as extra dryness. Needless to say that the gin was an sensational overnight success! Whole spices and berries are used instead of cheap extracts. These are matured for 18 months to acquire the sophisticated and unique “Gordon’s” taste.

The bitter taste of Gordon’s gin was in fact made better and more pleasant with the addition of soda water and lemon juice that was sweetened. It is said that many ancient Indians embraced this mysterious drink when it was sold in the UK home markets and very soon this gin became one of the world’s first and finest mixers.

One of the most important and distinctive factors about Gordon’s Gin is that it is the proud holder of the “Royal Warrant” for gin. The recipe for Gordon’s gin is secret and not known by many – in fact it is said that only 12 people in the whole wide world knows the recipe! The beauty is that this tradition continues to be maintained for more than 200 years.

In Britain, Gordon’s gin is sold in a green colored glass bottle while in other markets it is sold in a bottle that is “clear” that could be plastic, depending on the size. However, it is only in the UK that Gordon’s Gin is available at higher proofs than other markets in the world.

Gordon’s gin also manufactures other varieties of the product like sloe gin, aromatic gin, vodka, two Alco-pop variants, Space and Spark etc. Today the United States of America has the largest market for gin in the world. The American dry gins have less flavor than the gins that are produced in Britain. They are termed as “soft” gins and tend to be lower proof. Brands such as Gordon’s Gin and Gilbey’s which originate in the UK have more flavor.

Gordon’s gin is flavored in a manner that is unique. During the final distillation the alcohol is wafted through chambers where botanicals and juniper berries are suspended. The vapor then extracts the flavoring compounds, oils and aromas from the juniper berries and spices resulting in a wonderfully flavored spirit that is complex and unique.
