All London Dry gins are distilled gins, but not all distilled gins are London Drys. Both are the product of double distilling, but that is where the similarities end. The process for London Dry involves the maceration of natural botanicals in a 96% ABV neutral spirit from agricultural origin (usually grain based).
Gin is made using a clear, neutral spirit made from distilling grains such as rye, barley, wheat, or corn. While another common clear liquor—vodka—can be made with similar grains, gin and vodka are definitely not the same.The signature flavours of London Dry Gin come from the botanicals that are used in its production. Juniper berries are often accompanied by other herbs such as coriander, cardamom, orris root, angelica root, nutmeg, orange peel, cinnamon bark, and more.Distilled gin is made by redistilling white grain spirit and raw cane sugar which has been flavoured with juniper berries. Compound gin is made by flavouring neutral grain spirit with juniper berries without redistilling and can be considered a flavoured vodka.A London dry gin is defined as that which is infused with botanicals through re-distillation only. In order to be a London Dry Gin, no artificial ingredients, colours or flavours are permitted. And perhaps most importantly, no natural colours or flavours may be added after the distillation process.The key difference between regular gin and London dry gin is that while regular gins are often sweetened after distillation (with sugar or syrup), London dry gins are not sweetened at all—a feature that gives them a less syrupy taste and more of an herbal bite.
