The London No1 Gin (70cl , 47%)
The London No. 1 Gin is often described as having a complex flavor profile with a strong juniper and citrus base, a spicy kick from black pepper and ginger, and subtle notes of licorice and floral botanicals like lavender. Reviewers note its smooth, crisp mouthfeel despite a high alcohol content (47% ABV) and find it makes an excellent gin and tonic or martini, though some find the perfume-like notes a bit overwhelming. The gin’s pale blue color is noted for its aesthetic appeal, but some find it visually confusing.
