This London Dry Gin begins with a neutral grain spirit enriched by a thoughtful blend of nine botanicals steeped for 15 hours to extract maximum flavor. The botanicals include juniper berries, coriander seed, lemon, bitter orange, grapefruit peels, jasmine, angelica root, cassia, and orris root. These ingredients are sourced from across the globe, creating a balanced profile of bright citrus, floral, and subtle spice notes. Distilled in 500-liter pot stills lovingly named \"Tom Thumb\" and \"Thumbelina,\" the gin is then shipped to California for dilution with pure Mendocino County water, yielding a spirit with 45% ABV.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nFords Gin delivers a sensory experience that is both classic and modern.
