Description

Named after Berry Brother’s shop in St James’s, No.3 offers a taste of tradition; a classic style of London Dry Gin that originated in the 1830s as a refined alternative to the rather disreputable ‘sweet Gin’.

Like those original London Dry Gins, No.3 has juniper at its heart. The formula is beautifully simple: three fruits (juniper, sweet Spanish orange peel and grapefruit peel) and three botanicals (angelica root, Moroccan coriander and cardamom), placed in a copper pot still and immersed in pure grain alcohol diluted with demineralised water.

But it takes a master craftsman to perfect the distillation process, and in Dr David Clutton they had one of the world’s best. The result is Gin that’s bright, crisp and fresh on the nose, with juniper to the fore on the palate, supported by floral notes, warm spice and plenty of citrus zing, finishing with an earthy dryness. In short, the very embodiment of what a London Dry Gin should be.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Bright, crisp and fresh with an uplifting welcome of juniper
Palate: Juniper to the fore, supported by floral notes and spicy, warm cardamom. Plenty of citrus ‘zing’ complemented by the gingery spiciness of coriander
Finish: The earthy dryness of angelica kicks in

“On the nose there’s an instant and welcome hit of piney juniper with citrus and coriander very evident. In the mouth the juniper develops into a crispness nicely balanced by a soft spiciness. A classic.”
