Foxdenton The Original 48 London Dry Gin 70 cl 48%

Foxdenton Estate in Buckinghamshire can trace its roots back to 1367, but it wasn't until 2009, after six months of distilling trials with master distiller Charles Maxwell, that the first bottle of Foxdenton 48 saw the light of day.

Expert's description

Foxdenton 48 London Dry Gin is an English London Dry Gin distilled at Thames Distillers and bottled at 48%.

Nick Radclyffe and his partner John Simpson set out to create a traditional London Dry Gin, both in flavour and production method, working with veteran master distiller Charles Maxwell of Thames Distillery in Clapham.

The recipe is built on seven botanicals: organic juniper and coriander seed form the base, lemon peel and lime flower add freshness, and angelica and orris root act as fixatives that bind the other aromas together in harmony.

The high 48% strength gives the gin an intense, concentrated character that has earned it several international awards, including silver in the London Dry Gin category at the International Wine & Spirit Competition in 2014.
