Beefeater London Dry Gin NV | 750 ml.

WE92 Wine Enthusiast 8/1/2016

"Setting the benchmark for London dry-style gins, look for a fresh, clean scent and flavors of lemon peel and juniper, accented by white pepper, ginger, cayenne and coriander before fading to zingy lemon and a mildly sweet exit. At 47% abv it reads a little hot, but it’s ideal for drinks with a bit of dilution, like a classic Gin & Tonic." (92 pts.)

"One of the classiest, lushest, roundest gin bouquets in existence. Spicy, fruity and amazingly focused. The aroma of juniper berry is immensely appealing. At palate entry, the stone dry, minerally flavor opens up, ultimately giving way to a midpalate taste of defined juniper berry. The medium-long aftertaste takes you home in a savory, off-dry manner. Stylish, downright succulent gin." (90–95 pts.)

"At first, this gin comes across as sweet, clean and mild, but it finishes with a pronounced spice box punch of juniper, cardamom and citrus. Note to mixologists: Thanks to the assertive finish, this gin would hold up in a cocktail with a lot of other flavors." (91 pts.)

"A textbook London Dry Gin bouquet; floral, earthy, spicy and crisp with dry notes of orange peel and black pepper all underpinned by the presence of juniper berry. The palate entry is sharp, crisp, dry and botanically balanced; at midpalate a burst of citrus juiciness counters the earthiness of the juniper and angelica root. Finishes with a wonderful rush of juniper." (90–95 pts.)

"Medium full body. Black licorice, flowers, minerals. Soft, smooth texture. Intense on the palate with strong, assertive flavors. Rich, long finish." (90 pts.)
