Beefeater London Dry Gin is one of the world’s most iconic gins, proudly distilled in London since the 1860s. Founded by James Burrough and still produced to his original recipe, Beefeater is celebrated for its classic London Dry style—a crisp, juniper-forward gin with a perfectly balanced botanical profile. The name “Beefeater” pays homage to the Yeoman Warders who guard the Tower of London, reflecting the brand’s deep ties to British heritage.
Crafted using 100% grain spirit, Beefeater is made with nine botanicals: juniper, angelica root, angelica seed, coriander seed, licorice root, almonds, orris root, Seville orange peel, and lemon peel. These are steeped for 24 hours before distillation, a process that extracts both bright citrus notes and earthy spice, creating a complex yet harmonious spirit.
In the glass, Beefeater London Dry Gin is crystal clear with a crisp, aromatic nose. On the palate, it delivers bold juniper at the forefront, supported by warm spice and fresh citrus zest, leading to a clean, dry finish. Its balance and structure make it one of the most versatile gins for classic cocktails.
Beefeater shines in a gin and tonic, martini, or negroni, and has long been a favorite of bartenders for its reliability and depth. With over 150 years of continuous production, it remains a benchmark for London Dry gin worldwide.
