London Dry Gin Boodles

Boodles London Dry Gin is a classic British gin with a heritage dating back to 1845. Inspired by a recipe from that era, it is distilled from British wheat in a Carter-Head still. Notably, Boodles distinguishes itself by excluding any citrus botanicals, a deliberate choice by the original distillers who believed a proper gin drink should always include fresh citrus. The botanical blend focuses on a mellow yet herbal quality that balances the essential piney notes of juniper. Bottled at 45.2% ABV.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Robust piney and resinous juniper with a healthy dose of angelica. Some detect leafy herbal tones.

• Palate: Bright and juniper-forward at first, with a hint of caraway. Some find a lemon rind note mid-palate before a sweetly spiced finish. Others note cassia and cinnamon.

• Finish: Dry with lingering piney juniper and coriander.

Awards and Recognition:

• Gold Medal at the Bartender Spirits Awards.
• Silver Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition (2013).

• Rated 92 Points by the Beverage Tasting Institute.
• Rated 89 Points by Wine Enthusiast.

Overall Impression: Boodles London Dry Gin is a well-executed classic gin that emphasizes a clean and straightforward juniper character alongside herbal and slightly spicy notes. The absence of citrus in the distillation allows the other botanicals, such as sage, rosemary, and nutmeg, to contribute to a more mellow and herbal profile. This makes it a versatile gin for a wide range of classic cocktails, particularly those where the fresh citrus garnish can be controlled by the bartender. It’s a reliable and well-regarded London Dry that appeals to those who appreciate a traditional gin experience without excessive modern flavor experimentation.
