Hayman's London Dry Gin 700ml (1x70cl)

Hayman's London Dry Gin represents a steadfast commitment to the historical integrity of the London Dry style. Distilled by a family with over 150 years of heritage in gin production, this expression adheres to a time-honoured recipe featuring ten classic botanicals. The meticulous process involves a two-day steeping of botanicals—including juniper, coriander, orange peel, and angelica root—in English wheat spirit, allowing for a profound extraction of aromatic compounds before distillation in a copper pot still. This traditional method, eschewing modern shortcuts, ensures a spirit of exceptional balance and complexity, true to the original London Dry character. It is a benchmark example of a gin where the quality of botanical sourcing and the precision of distillation define its distinguished profile.

Tasting notes

The nose presents a classic juniper dominance, elegantly interwoven with bright citrus zest—notably lemon and sweet orange—and a subtle undercurrent of earthy angelica and peppery coriander. On the palate, it is remarkably smooth and impeccably balanced. Juniper remains at the forefront, supported by a harmonious interplay of citrus brightness, a delicate warmth from cassia and cinnamon, and a hint of liquorice sweetness. The texture is clean and dry, leading to a medium-length finish that is crisp, refreshing, and leaves a lingering impression of its well-integrated botanical complexity.
