Fords Gin
From: Thames Distillers
A modern twist on a classic style of Gin, a versatile mix of nine botanicals including grapefruit and jasmine – The go-to gin for the world’s best bartenders.
Distilled in London at Thames Distillers, Fords Gin is a collaboration between 10th generation master distiller Charles Maxwell and gin expert Simon Ford.
A modern take on a classic London Dry Gin, Fords Gin starts with a traditional base of juniper & coriander seed balanced by citrus, florals and spices that are steeped for 15 hours before being distilled. Each botanical blends together to create the perfect base for any gin-inspired cocktail.
