Blue Bottle London Dry Gin 47%, 70cl

Product Information

Bols 100% Malt Spirit takes the neutral grain spirits out of the equation. The brand calls it "genever in its purest form," created from a distillate of corn, rye, and wheat that is fermented for longer than usual and married with juniper berries. Its taste is that of sweet grass with fruits and juniper. This is the signature gin used to make a Sapphire martinias well as the Sapphire alpine. The two blue martinis use blue curaçao to get that beautiful color, and they're a delight to drink. Also simply referred to as “dry gin,” this is the most traditional and most popular type of gin⁠—and, despite its name, doesn’t actually have to be produced in England. It generally does, however, have to be made according to strict purity standards, which have origins in the 18th century and are meant to ensure the absence of toxic distillation byproducts. There is a beautiful gin inside this distinct green bottle with its red wax seal. Tanqueray's crisp, dry style is the benchmark for a London dry gin without any citrus in the botanicals. It is a standard to which all other gins are compared and contrasted and also sells for a reasonable price.

The glass bottle is hand blown in Cambridge, the stoppers made in Switzerland and the feathers – made of silver of course – were designed by jeweller Antoine Sandoz (whose clients include Chanel and Tom Ford!!) If you have yet to taste genever, it is unlike any other gin you've had. This style of gin is as if a soft Scotch whisky were married with gin, and Bols' malty feel is a perfect example. Based on Lucas Bols' original recipe from 1820, it has a wonderful balance of sweet malt and subdued juniper and citrus. It is triple distilled using equal parts malt wine and neutral grain spirits that are infused with natural flavors.

Sometimes called Dutch gin or Holland gin, genever is a sweetened style of gin that originated in the Netherlands. Today, it is only distilled in that country and in neighboring areas of Europe. The biggest name in genever is Bols, and it is one of the few brands that is available worldwide.

We do love a bit of Opihr at the end of a long Monday, but since their new Ready To Drink Range launched this year we have been obsessed. I mean look at these bottles, they’re beautiful! The club remains open throughout the week between 6:30 pm – 2:00 am. What is BLUE GIN Bottle Service? Aviation's choice of a rye base gives this gin a creamier mouthfeel than most gins. It is a gin that you can enjoy chilled on its own, which is great news for super dry martini fans. You will get to groove on to the music played by the in-house DJ at this club. The choice of songs played over here is amazing and would lift your mood immediately. What is the guestlist at BLUE GIN?Bols Geneverwas on the U.S. marketuntil Prohibitionand was not available again until the summer of 2008. It is bottled at 42 percent ABV (84 proof), and a bottle typically sells for the same price as any premium gin. If you look at the list of botanicals in Bombay Sapphireyou will notice a few differences from other London dry gins. Grains of paradise, almond, and cubeb berries are not your average gin ingredients and they help this bottle stand apart from the crowd. Like many other brands, Bols has expanded their genever selection. Beyond the original, you can find barrel-aged bottles, which are rested in French Limousin oak casks for 18 months.
