Our guide to the perfect gin range

Capitalise on the demand for new gin flavourings and pairings. Most gin drinkers are looking for a traditional London Dry gin with a strong, clean juniper finish such as Gordon’s. Premium gins such as Tanqueray No. Ten and Monkey 47 challenge the established gin drinker with a tremendous depth of flavour through acomplex array of botanicals and long finish. The subtle flavours of Bombay Sapphire or Hendrick’s offer an alternative gin for those who prefer a softer, more floral taste.
