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.Classic examples of this style that still survive are Tanqueray and Beefeater, although only one is now distilled in London and both are bottled in Scotland. Sipsmith's Gin and Portobello Road Gin are good examples of modern London Dry-style gins still made in London.
London dry gin is made by double distilling grain, with select botanicals added during the second distillation. While the Tanqueray recipe is a closely guarded trade secret, it is known to contain four botanicals: juniper, coriander, angelica root and liquorice, all common botanicals in gin productions overall.
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.London Dry Gin was first made in London, England, around the 18th century. This gin was made in large quantities and produced in high quality. What makes it different from other gin? Well, London Dry Gin is made with higher levels of alcohol and uses less water in its production.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.
