Thomas Dakin Eleven Botanicals London Dry Gin is a classic English small-batch gin, made in a copper pot still and bottled at 42% ABV. This 1L bottle draws on the Manchester distilling heritage of Thomas Dakin, whose name has been associated with English gin since 1761. The recipe is built around eleven botanicals, giving Thomas Dakin Eleven Botanicals London Dry Gin a clear juniper-led core with bright, savoury character. 🌿
Juniper is joined by orange peel, grapefruit, English coriander, angelica, liquorice, orris root, cubeb pepper and a distinctive hint of red cole—the historic English name for horseradish. The result is aromatic and citrus-forward on the nose, then dry, spicy and gently earthy on the palate. Sweet orange and grapefruit bring freshness, while pepper, coriander and red cole add a lingering savoury lift rather than sweetness. 🍊
Thomas Dakin Eleven Botanicals London Dry Gin is a confident choice for a properly chilled Gin & Tonic: serve with a quality neutral tonic, plenty of ice and a twist of orange or grapefruit. Its dry, structured profile also suits a Martini, Negroni, Red Snapper or classic Gin Sour. The 1L format is practical for hosting, a home bar or gifting to someone who appreciates traditional British gin with a distinctive botanical edge. 🍸
This is an unaged gin, clear in colour and designed for mixing as much as mindful sipping. Its balance of citrus, juniper and savoury spice makes it versatile across classic cocktails without losing its unmistakable Manchester identity.
