No.3 London Dry Gin
No.3 Gin is the creation of renowned London wine and spirit merchants Berry Bros. & Rudd. The name refers to their building number on St James' Street and the N0.3 theme is continued by using 3 fruit botanicals and 3 spice botanicals. No.3 is a classic, juniper-heavy London Dry Gin and distiller Dr. David Clutton uses traditional copper pot stills after macerating the botanicals overnight. The awarding winning bottle features a key inspired by an old key at the St James' Street shop, and it symbolises Berry Bros. & Rudd's history and legacy.
The gin was created to be the last word in gin for a Dry Martini. With juniper at its heart, it unashamedly celebrates the integrity and character of a classic London Dry Gin: six perfectly balanced botanicals distilled in traditional copper pot stills.
Juniper, from Italy, not only gives gin its name, but also the unmistakable gin taste of pine and lavender. Sweet Spanish orange peel provides freshness in the form of clean, crisp citrus. Grapefruit peel gives an extra zingy lift.
Angelica root delivers an earthy quality and helps to make the gin dry. Moroccan coriander seed releases a lemon flavour and a spicy, slightly peppery finish. And finally, cardamom pods which add a spicy, aromatic, yet warm bite.
We do not believe any further botanicals to be necessary, as they can detract from the flavours essential to a classic Dry Martini or a Gin & Tonic.
