Hayman's - London Dry Gin 750ml

About this gift

Distilling with a century-old 10-botanical recipe that undergoes a full 24-hour warm maceration before firing, Hayman's captures the authentic, structural weight of traditional English pot-still London Dry. Unlike modern contemporary gins that suppress juniper in favor of delicate florals or fruit syrups, and unlike mass-market industrial bottlings diluted down to 40% ABV, this historic expression retains an unyielding resinous backbone bottled at a sturdy 47% ABV. Distilling exclusively in small copper pot stills preserves the dense volatile oils of juniper, whole citrus peel, and warm baking spices, ensuring structural clarity even through heavy ice dilution.

Palate weight registers with substantial viscosity, opening with bracing pine, cracked coriander, and zesty bitter orange peel before giving way to warming cassia and earthy orris root. In-house testing at USQ showed that the elevated 47% ABV proof holds its architectural frame exceptionally well against fortified wine dilution.
