Bombay Sapphire

Pimms No. 1 Cup Gin

$28.79

The Pimm's tradition is almost as entrenched in British culture as the cup of tea. Pimm's was invented in the 1840s, by the owner of an oyster bar in the City of London. James Pimm offered the tonic (which was a gin based drink containing quinine and a secret mixture of herbs) as an aid to digestion, and served it in a small tankard. This is where the "No. 1 Cup" moniker arose. A traditional Pimm's cocktail includes one slice of cucumber, a sprig of mint and two parts of ginger ale to one part Pimm's. A favourite at KWM!

Bombay Sapphire

$33.29

Although the brand hints a gin's heyday at the height of the British Raj in India, the brand only dates from 1987. Its name was chosen through a competitive process which pitted Madison Avenue ad firms against each other. Botanicals include: almond, lemon peel, liquorice, juniper berries, orris root, angelica, coriander, cassia, cubeb, and grains of paradise. The spirit is triple-distilled using a carterhead still. Bombay is a more floral and soft gin that the "punchier" ones distilled in copper pot stills.

Hendrick's Gin

$51.29

Hendrick's is a small-batch, handcrafted gin distilled in Ayrshire, Scotland. No other gin tastes quite like it because no other gin is made like it. Hints of coriander, juniper, citrus peel, rose petal and an infusion of cucumber make for a delectably complex drink. The taste is clean and refreshing, yet unusually rich. When making the traditional gin and tonic, add a slice of cucumber! Your next cocktail will rock.

Berry Bros No.3 London Dry Gin

$59.39

Britain's oldest wine and spirit merchants have traded from the same shop for more than 300 years. Naturally, they have their own gin, made to order in the Netherlands by another family's business. Berry Bros believes that No.3 recreates the classic experience of London Dry Gin due to three simple things done well: the careful sourcing of the ingredients, the painstaking processes of production and the exquisite presentation in its unique bottle. Made with 3 fruits (Juniper and the peels of Spanish oranges and grapefruits) and 3 spices (Angelica root, Moroccan coriander and cardamom).

Bottled at a respectable 46% ABV.

Producer Description

"It took two years to perfect our masterpiece, working closely with master distillers, top mixologists, and Dr David Clutton—the only person in the world with a PhD in gin. After months of selecting the finest botanicals, we distilled our spirit in a 100-year-old brick-encased copper pot still in Holland, the birthplace of gin.
