Beefeater® London Dry Gin
First produced in 1820 by pharmacist James Burrough, BEEFEATER
LONDON DRY GIN is still made according to the same family-held recipe
using time-honored production techniques. Burrough named the spirit
after the Yeomen of the Guard at the Tower of London, who are commonly known as Beefeaters.

Beefeater deserves its reputation as the driest of the elite London dry gins. The botanicals and aromatics used to make Beefeater Gin are steeped in the neutral spirits for 24 hours before being redistilled in an alembic still. The recipe’s botanicals include juniper berries, coriander, angelica root, licorice, cassia bark, dried Seville orange peels and Spanish lemon peels.

A quick sniff is all that’s necessary to explain Beefeater’s enduring popularity. The famous gin has a lavish, thoroughly engaging bouquet, one laced with floral, spice and juniper. Its lightweight body is crisp and exceptionally dry. The gin immediately fills the mouth with layers of delicious flavors, notably citrus, juniper, lavender and spice. The persistence of flavors is remarkably long. The gin is bottled at a lip tingling 94 proof.

Why is Beefeater Gin found on every back bar throughout the world? A captivating aroma, silky body, great taste, long, dry finish and tremendous versatility. That largely explains it, yes?
