London dry gin


London dry gin , characterized by its lack of sweetening and its crisp, juniper-led botanical blend, became the predominant style of gin at the beginning of the twentieth century and still remains so, although its hegemony is weakening with the twenty-first century’s interest in innovation in the category. See gin and botanical. Despite the geographic specificity of its name, it can be made anywhere in the world.
