Distilled in the heart of London to a classic premium recipe, it's a gin that insists on being noticed, both at the bar and in the glass.

    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278322

    London No 1 lets their gin rest in sherry casks for three months to give it a deeper, more balanced character.

    Expert's description

    London No 1 Sherry Cask Premium Small Batch Gin is an English Barrel Aged Gin, bottled at 43%.

    The gin has been aged in sherry casks for 3 months, resulting in a well-balanced gin with notes of sherry and oak.

    The cask ageing complements the classic gin character without overpowering it, giving a sophisticated result.

    London No 1 is known for its characteristic gin-turquoise colour in the standard expression, while this sherry edition has a different, warmer tone.
