Berry Bros No.3 London Dry Gin

$65.99

Britain's oldest wine and spirit merchants have traded from the same shop for more than 300 years. Naturally, they have their own gin, made to order in the Netherlands by another family's business. Berry Bros believes that No.3 recreates the classic experience of London Dry Gin due to three simple things done well: the careful sourcing of the ingredients, the painstaking processes of production and the exquisite presentation in its unique bottle. Made with 3 fruits (Juniper and the peels of Spanish oranges and grapefruits) and 3 spices (Angelica root, Moroccan coriander and cardamom).

Bottled at a respectable 46% ABV.

Producer Description

"It took two years to perfect our masterpiece, working closely with master distillers, top mixologists, and Dr David Clutton—the only person in the world with a PhD in gin. After months of selecting the finest botanicals, we distilled our spirit in a 100-year-old brick-encased copper pot still in Holland, the birthplace of gin. With the best ingredients and the expertise of gin’s finest, we created No.3. Discover the full story here."

Producer Tasting Note

"No.3 perfectly balances three essential flavours: juniper, citrus and spice, making for the most refreshing gin and tonic, clean, crisp martini or distinctive negroni. It is the only gin awarded ‘World’s Best’ four times (2012, 2013, 2015, and 2019) at the International Spirits Challenge (ISC)."

One of our favourite independent bottlers, Berry Bros. & Rudd is a stored London-based firm which has resided at #3 St. James Street, a stone's throw from St. James Palace, since 1698. Primarily a wine merchant, they have also played a prominent role in the Scotch whisky industry. In addition to founding the Cutty Sark Blend, and managing the Glenrothes brand for 30 years, BBR is also an independent bottler. We have long been impressed not only by the quality of their independent bottlings, but also their value!

Berry Bros. & Rudd in Their Own Words

With two Royal Warrants and more than 300 years of history, Berry Bros. & Rudd is Britain’s original wine and spirits merchant.

We can trace our history back to 1698, when an enterprising woman called the Widow Bourne started an “Italian grocer’s” at No.3 St James’s Street, selling tea, snuff, spices and the most fashionable drink of the day, coffee. The sign of the coffee mill still hangs outside our premises at No.3 today, in tribute to our roots.

In due course, our focus shifted to something a little bit stronger. As wine became important to the business, so too did spirits, and we started bottling casks under our label in the early 19th century, making us Britain’s oldest independent spirits bottler. Three centuries on, the family business continues to flourish, with its heart still very much at No.3.

While much has changed over the years, we are still owned and managed by members of the Berry and Rudd families, and we continue to supply the British Royal Family, as we have done since the reign of King George III. We still, from time to time, weigh customers on a giant set of coffee scales, a tradition which began in the 1760s, with Lord Byron, William Pitt and Beau Brummell among those who have had their weights recorded in our ledgers. Most importantly, we still believe that everything you should look for in a wine or spirit comes down to one simple question: “Is it good to drink?”
