Gin is a neutral spirit redistilled (or compounded) with botanicals, where juniper must be dominant. The botanical bill—citrus peel, coriander, angelica root, orris, spices, florals—defines the style.
London Dry tends to be crisp, juniper-forward, and dry with bright citrus; “New Western” styles often pull juniper back and push florals or fruit. Compared with vodka, gin’s flavor comes from botanicals rather than fermentation base—so it reads aromatic and structured even at the same proof.
Beefeater London Dry
Beefeater is the perfect classic cocktail gin—crisp, juniper-forward, with citrus and coriander balancing the botanical profile. It's widely recommended as a starter bar bottle because it delivers real London Dry character at an accessible price. Martinis, Gin & Tonics, Negronis, and Tom Collins all work beautifully with Beefeater. When recipes call for gin without specifying a style, this is what they're expecting.
