Fords Gin is a modern London Dry created with bartenders in mind, designed from the ground up to shine in cocktails while still respecting the traditions of classic gin. Developed by Simon Ford in collaboration with master distiller Charles Maxwell of Thames Distillers, it combines craft knowledge with practical design. The result is a gin that has become a favorite in bars worldwide for its balance, versatility, and thoughtful construction.
Distilled with nine botanicals—juniper, coriander, bitter orange, lemon, grapefruit, angelica, cassia, jasmine, and orris root—it delivers both structure and nuance. Bottled at 45% ABV, it has enough strength to carry flavor through complex drinks without overwhelming. On the nose, it is bright and citrus-forward, with clear juniper and spice. The palate is layered and balanced, showing juniper, grapefruit zest, soft florals, and earthy spice over a clean, rounded body. The finish is crisp and lingering, with citrus and gentle botanicals remaining.
Every detail of Fords reflects its bartender-first philosophy. The bottle is designed for functionality behind the bar, with easy handling and measurement markers, while the liquid itself was tested and refined in countless classic cocktails—from Martinis to Negronis, Gimlets to Tom Collins—to ensure versatility.
Fords London Dry Gin stands as both a nod to tradition and a tool for innovation. It respects the juniper backbone essential to the style while offering a modern brightness and balance that make it an indispensable gin for today’s cocktail culture.
