No. 3 London Dry Gin

London Dry Gin | 46% ABV | 92 Proof | 750mL | Six Botanicals

Process & Profile

No. 3 London Dry Gin is a classic juniper-forward gin created by Berry Bros. & Rudd, Britain’s historic wine and spirits merchant based at No. 3 St James’s Street in London. The recipe was developed over two years with input from distillers, bartenders, and gin expert Dr. David Clutton.

Distilled in Holland in a traditional copper pot still, No. 3 uses a focused recipe of six botanicals: juniper berries, Spanish sweet orange peel, grapefruit peel, coriander seed, angelica root, and cardamom pods. Each botanical plays a distinct role, creating the gin’s signature balance of juniper, citrus, and spice.

Juniper remains firmly at the center, while orange and grapefruit provide bright citrus. Coriander and cardamom introduce floral, peppery, and warming spice, with angelica root adding an earthy dryness to the finish. Bottled at 92 proof, No. 3 maintains enough intensity to remain expressive in classic gin cocktails.

What Makes It Special

No. 3 London Dry Gin focuses on six carefully selected botanicals rather than an oversized botanical recipe. The result is a precise expression of the traditional London Dry style, with juniper leading the profile and citrus and spice providing balance.

Its name comes from Berry Bros. & Rudd’s historic address at No. 3 St James’s Street in London. The distinctive key incorporated into the bottle design is inspired by the key to the merchant’s historic premises.

No. 3 has also earned significant recognition in international spirits competitions, including multiple World’s Best Gin titles at the International Spirits Challenge. Its crisp, dry profile was developed specifically with classic cocktails in mind, particularly the Martini and Gin & Tonic.

How to Enjoy

No. 3 London Dry Gin is especially well suited to a classic Dry Martini, where its prominent juniper, bright citrus, cardamom, and dry angelica finish remain clearly defined.

For a refreshing Gin & Tonic, serve it over plenty of ice with quality tonic water and a citrus garnish. Its 92-proof strength also gives it enough structure for cocktails such as a Negroni, Gimlet, or Tom Collins.

It can also be enjoyed neat or over ice for a direct look at its juniper-driven botanical profile.
