Producer notes: "Named after our 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 we 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."

92 points Wine Enthusiast: "Sweet, mild, clean fragrance of lemon, juniper and licorice. This is a complex gin; more flavors can be detected with each sip: cinnamon spice, astringent pine needles, a touch of lime zest and, finally, a big licorice finish comes singing through. Slightly oily feel. Great for a gimlet or martini with a lemon twist. (Apr 2011)"
****Highly Recommended, F. Paul Pacult (Spirit Journal): "Transparent and impeccably clean. In the inital nosings I detect obvious scents of black peppercorn and juniper, with the pepper eclipsing the juniper by a degree or two; further aeration time stimulates some of the other botanicals, most prominently cassia bark, lemon peel and coriander for an intriguing bouquet wherein I pick up a smidgen more juniper than in regular Sapphire. Entry is botanically pleasing, but a touch sweet and fruity ripe, and therefore fuller in texture than the too-ethereal-for-me regular Sapphire; midpalate features piny/cedary juniper and the Thai lemongrass, as the black pepper aspect diminishes. Finishes cleanly, with a late gas pedal jolt of juniper and licorice. A line extension that overshadows the original Sapphire. (Dec 2011)"
Distilled by a unique vapour infusion process using 10 carefully selected botanicals. Delivers a complex, yet smooth taste. Try it in the ultimate martini or the preferred gin and tonic.

***** Highest Recommendation, F. Paul Pacult (Spirit Journal): "The slightly pale straw tint, rare in a gin, is due to the addition of saffron--impeccable purity and clarity. The first nosing pass offers a mildly fruity/spicy scent that doesn't for a nonosecond speak of the elevated alcohol level; the send and third sniffings, following ample aeration time, see the development of biscuity, rich aromas that feature atypical, but alluring and garden-like fragrances of flowers, orris root, and angelica; the fourth and final whiff stays the aromatic course plotted in the early passes, spotlighting the earthier, softer botanicals rather than the more pungent juniper and bitter citrus; the balance and harmony of this gentlemanly bouquet is of classical proportions. The palate entry is sweet and fruity, featuring for the first time the juniper berries; the midpalate is long, silky smooth, fruity, dry, and remarkably supple, even succulent. The finish brings the citrus more into play as the sweetness of the entry and midpalate gives way to a delightful tartness. What's so impressive about this breathtaking gin is that from start to finish the 110 proof acts only as a sublime foundation for the botanicals rather than as a star performer; as delicious and comely as I could ever imagine British gin to be."
Named to the Spirit Journal's '140 Best Five Star Spirits in the World for 2012 (#118)'.
The Tasting Panel: "Scour the Earth if you must, but you'll find no other gin like Ol Raj. It's pot-distilled with an exotic botanical mix that includes saffron. The rare spice imbues the gin with an intriguing flavor and a yellow tint. (May 2011)"

From the old Gaelic word Caorunn or Rhuda-an, pronounced 'ka-roon'. The six traditional and five Celtic botanicals are infused to perfection using only natural ingredients. The piquant red rowan berry has inspired Celtic medicines and recipes for generations. Heather allows subtle perfumed undertones with a nuance of honey. The fragrant bog myrtle infuses a soft, sweet resinous aroma. Dandelion lends just a hint of sharpness. Finally, the coul blush apple's clean, sweet aromatic tasted forms a perfectly balanced complement.
The Tasting Panel: "Small-batch gin distilled with Celtic botanicals of heather, bog myrtle, dandelion and native Coul Blush apple, alongside traditionals juniper, coriander seed, orange peel, lemon peel, angelica root and cassia bark, this Scottish-bred product promotes its distillation in a copper berry chamber, where the grain spirit is vaporized in a slow process to infuse the more subtle flavors. (Jan/Feb 2012)"

The Tasting Panel: "Finding so much traction that it could easily be deemed a modern classic, Hendrick's boasts cucumber as its most noted botanical--thanks to their process of mashing the fresh fruit, then mixing the pulp with water. It's the only gin to date made with a combination of Carter head stills and copper pot stills. Backing up its excellence in taste, the brand has become renowned for unique marketing programs, including national croquet tournaments hosted by its ambassadors. (Jan/Feb 2012)"
Instilled with juniper, coriander, rose petal, citrus peel, and a particularly luscious infusion of cucumber. A most unusual gin.

"Highly Recommended", Beverage Testing Institute: "Clear. Pleasantly sweet citrus peel, spice, and juniper, and menthol aromas with a piercing vaporous edge. A round entry leads to a dry full-bodied palate with vibrant herbal, menthol, cardamom, white pepper, and resinous juniper flavors with a wash of citrus spray. Finishes with a hot, drying and pithy fade of cardamom and juniper. An intensely flavored and fairly hot style that would be good for gin and tonics."

Named to the Spirit Journal's '140 Best Five Star Spirits in the World for 2011 (#11)': "Will this astonishing floral and fruity gin revolutionize the category? It will certainly add to the debate. Controversial in its wildly unique approach. Great on its own (a gin rarity), served cold in a white wine glass. I will tell you that Carl Nolet, Sr. told me to my face that it took him 40 years to come up with the right marriage of botanicals. It blew me away from the first sip. I strongtly urge readers to try it. (Jun 2011)"
The Tasting Panel: "Earning Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2011, this spirit contains unique botanicals like Turkish rose, raspberry and peach, giving it an intensely floral and sweet combination when sipped neat. (Jan/Feb 2012)"
This floral and fruit-forward gin is bottled at 47.6% alc./vol. (95.2 Proof) and expresses the essence of three coveted ingredients: Turkish rose, white peach and raspberry.

*****Highest Recommendation, F.Paul Pacult (Spirit Journal): "Superb rain water-like clarity. The opening whiffs pick up delicate notes of juniper berry oil, citrus, orris, coriander, and caraway seed; extra time in the glass allows for the aroma to gather itself into a full-bodied, refreshing yet sleek bouquet of spicy distinction. The flavor at palate entry is mildly peppery, floral, and fruity; at midpalate the flavor profile focuses more on oils and juniper. A masterpiece of precision and gravitas. So complex. So authentic. So cutting -edge. Unique and great."
Named to the Spirit Journal's '140 Best Five Star Spirits in the World for 2012 (#50)': "My next choice after Tanqueray as the 'ultimate English gin'. Full-bodied, refreshing yet sleek bouquet of spicy distinction. Flavor at entry is mildly peppery, floral and fruity; midpalate is more focused on the oils and juniper. A masterpiece of precision and gravitas. Fabulous in an Aviation Cocktail. Should be more appreciated for the world-class spirit that it is. (Jun 2012)"
New York Times: "BEST VALUE. Subtle and elegant with crisp, lingering flavors of citrus and juniper: a martini in a dinner jacket. (5/2/07)"
The Tasting Panel: "Plymouth Gin can well be called the gin that launched a thousand ships. The landmark brand has a long, storied history with the British Royal Navy and is still the daily issue to its officers. The gin is characteristically complex -- dry, aromatic and brimming with long-lasting flavor. Plymouth Gin continues to be made where it originated over 200 years ago, at England's oldest continuously operating distillery, Black Friars Distillery... A quick sniff, sip and swallow are all that's necessary to appreciate Plymouth Gin's enduring popularity. It has an expansive, citrus, spice and juniper bouquet and a lightweight, seamlessly smooth body. The gin immediately fills the mouth with juniper, coriander, orange and lemon. The exuberant flavors linger on the palate for an agreeably long time. (Jan/Feb 2012)"

93 points Beverage Testing Institute: "Pale amber pink color. Aromas of sweet berry and citrus pastry, floral hops, honey and spice follow through on a soft, silky entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body with wintermint, mango custard, dried lavender, and herbal juniper and sweet spices on the gentle polished finish. Very nice. (6/11/09)"
This Old Tom Gin is a historically accurate revival of the predominant Gin in fashion during the mid 1800's and the golden age of American cocktails. The recipe was developed in collaboration with historian, author, and mixologist extraordinaire David Wondrich. Old Tom is the Gin for mixing classic cocktails dating from the days before prohibition. Its subtle maltiness is the result of using a base wort of malted barley, combined with an infusion of botanicals in high proof corn spirits. The final distilation is run through an alambic pot still in order to preserve the maximum amount of aromatics, flavor and body. Only the ''heart of the hearts'' (the very best portion of distillate) is retained for this special bottling.
