The behemoth of the industry needs no introduction, surely? Gordon's gin is one of the top ten-selling spirits in the world and has been made with the same recipe since the late 18th Century. The sweet orange peel and juniper are first to stand out on the nose with coriander following soon after. The body of the gin is neither too rich nor too thin with just a touch of oil. The finish is clean and crisp and the botanicals really work in harmony with the sweet notes matching up to the earthy, savoury notes. While perhaps the finish could be a bit longer, this is nonetheless a classic gin and would be perfectly fine in a martini.
