BLOOM London Dry Gin

BLOOM London Dry Gin

BLOOM premium London Dry Gin is a delicate, floral gin created by Master Distiller, Joanne Moore.  It was inspired by nature and the flowers of an English country garden. This gin is distilled in a traditional copper pot still with a secret combination of seven botanicals added by hand including chamomile, honeysuckle and the citrus fruit pomelo.  These are allowed to rest and macerate to re-hydrate the botanicals. BLOOM Gin is distilled by only the 7th Master Distiller in the 250 years in which G&J Distillers has been producing fine gin.

Berkeley Square London Dry Gin

Berkeley Square London Dry Gin

Berkeley Square Gin is an award-winning, ultra-premium London Dry Gin that is distilled to perfection through a unique, 48-hour distillation process. Its distinctive, ultra-smooth taste is achieved through a method called ‘bouquet garni’, which involves distilling in small batches using a small copper still. Inspired by leading chefs who have used ‘bouquet garni’ to subtly impart flavour into dishes for many years, this method sees a muslin cloth bouquet of basil, lavender and sage submerged following the first distillation into the liquid, infusing with the core botanicals and kaffir lime leaves as it is distilled for a second time. The second distillation allows the botanicals to simmer together and the delicate oils to develop, releasing subtle flavours into the spirit. The result is a beautifully aromatic gin with a supremely smooth taste that is best appreciated neat over ice.
