Fords London Dry Gin Review

Created by Simon Ford and Master Distiller Charles Maxwell, this gin was crafted with cocktails in mind. Knowing that, it's somewhat surprising how delicate the nose is and the subtlety of the juniper aromas in particular. But each sip offers layers and depth, and the type of complexity not normally found at this price point. This is a balanced, versatile example of the London Dry style and one that promises to deliver on its cocktail-making credentials.
