Gordon's
The history of Gordon's Gin begins in 1769, when Alexander Gordon opened the namesake distillery in London, more precisely in the Southwark district. Alexander was one of the first figures to create a quality production reality: until then, Gin was considered the "spirit of the underclass", often identified with the drink preferred by the poorer and more desperate social strata, who drowned their sorrows in the oblivion of constant drunkenness. After a seven-year apprenticeship, Alexander also brought his son Charles into the distillery, and meanwhile, in the 1830s, the production model of London Dry Gin began to develop. In 1900, the distillery took the name Tanqueray Gordon & Co. and became the largest producer of Gin in the world, also thanks to the flow of exports. Today, Gordon's continues to be one of the best-selling and most appreciated Gin brands, winning, year after year, several important awards and recognitions in the spirits sector, demonstrating a quality consistently maintained at excellent levels.
Gordon's Gin is born from a meticulous processing process, carefully monitored by the distillery team. The starting point is the same that Alexander identified more than 250 years ago, namely that of always starting from the finest ingredients available on the market. The various botanical elements that are processed during distillation are therefore carefully sourced, and among them, a fundamental place is occupied by juniper. Charlie Downing, the company's global marketing manager, asserts that Gordon's Gin is one of the "most juniper-forward on the market", highlighting its most distinctive trademark.
Today, Gordon's produces several types of Gin, all perfect for being enjoyed with tonic and ice, or for being mixed in cutting-edge cocktails. Among the labels created, the latest product launched on the market stands out, the "Premium Pink", inspired by an original recipe that Gordon's has kept within its
own walls since 1880. It is a Gin with a characteristic pink color, ideal for making the aperitif hour more original.The history of Gordon's Gin begins in 1769, when Alexander Gordon opened the namesake distillery in London, more precisely in the Southwark district.
