No.3 London Dry Gin

No.3 London Dry Gin is a benchmark of gin-making perfection, crafted by Berry Bros. & Rudd, London’s oldest wine and spirit merchant. Distilled in Holland in a traditional copper pot still, this gin balances juniper, citrus, and spice with impeccable precision. Crisp, classic, and elegant, it has earned global acclaim — including the rare distinction of being the only gin to win the coveted “Supreme Champion Spirit” at the International Spirits Challenge. A quintessential London Dry that embodies tradition, craft, and excellence in every sip.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Aromas of bright juniper and fresh citrus leap from the glass, layered with sweet Spanish orange and grapefruit peel. On the palate, a bold juniper backbone harmonises with warm cardamom spice, earthy angelica, and coriander’s herbal lift. The finish is clean, refreshing, and beautifully balanced — a crisp and timeless London Dry that lingers with elegance.

Craftsmanship

In 2008, Berry Bros. & Rudd set out to create “the perfect London Dry Gin”. Working alongside master distillers, mixologists, and even Dr. David Clutton — the only PhD in gin — they refined the recipe over two years. The result was No.3, distilled in a 100-year-old brick-encased copper pot still in Holland. Crafted from three fruits and three spices, it delivers a bold yet elegant balance of juniper, citrus, and spice, tailored for timeless cocktails.

Special Features

No.3’s name pays homage to the historic home of Berry Bros. & Rudd at No.3 St James’s Street, London, where the company has traded since 1698. Its iconic turquoise key logo symbolises unlocking the “perfect gin.” Bottled at 46% ABV, it was deliberately designed at bartender strength, ensuring its flavours shine in every serve. A gin rooted in heritage, precision, and pursuit of excellence.
