Gordon's - 700ml | London Dry Gin

Gordon’s is one of the world’s oldest gins, created in 1769 when Alexander Gordon founded his distillery. Alexander was one of the first gin makers to revolutionise the image of gin and place the emphasis on quality. This has led Gordon’s to receive four royal warrants by the Kings and Queens of Britain – it truly is a liquid fit for Royalty. Legend has it that the King of Scotland was saved from a boar by a member of the Gordon family, and that the symbol of the boar’s head was placed on the family’s coat of arms by way of thanks. The boar has been a seal of quality for Gordon’s and a symbol of its proud heritage. Today Gordon's doesnt talk much about what they have achieved but they focus more on what they want to be... a gin that's enjoyed!

It was one of the very first gins to be drunk with tonic. The quinine in the tonic was thought to have the medicinal effect of preventing British colonial soldiers from catching malaria, and Gordon’s made the cocktail a whole lot more palatable! Amongst its many famous admirers, Gordon’s was the preferred gin of James Bond, featuring in the famous “Vesper Martini” he creates in Ian Fleming’s first Bond novel, Casino Royale.
