Starting from a traditional base of juniper and coriander seeds, the recipe is balanced by citrus, florals, and spices. The botanicals are steeped 15 hours before distillation to maximize flavor, yielding an aromatic, fresh, floral spirit with elegant notes of jasmine and grapefruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh and floral — jasmine, citrus zest, and bright juniper\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Balanced juniper and coriander with grapefruit and a soft floral lift\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean and smooth, built to integrate in cocktails\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thames Distillers, London (Master Distiller Charles Maxwell)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e London Dry Gin\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBotanicals:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9, including juniper, coriander, citrus, florals, and spices\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15-hour botanical steep before distillation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gin\"\u003egin at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat does Fords Gin taste like?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eFresh and floral, with jasmine and citrus on the nose, balanced juniper and coriander with grapefruit on the palate, and a clean finish built to work in cocktails.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy is Fords called a cocktail gin?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimon Ford designed it with bartenders specifically as a versatile, well-balanced base that holds up in classic gin cocktails rather than dominating them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat cocktails is it best in?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA workhorse for a Gin \u0026amp; Tonic, Martini, Negroni, and Tom Collins — balanced enough to suit nearly any gin cocktail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What does Fords Gin taste like?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Fresh and floral, with jasmine and citrus on the nose, balanced juniper and coriander with grapefruit on the palate, and a clean finish built to work in cocktails.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why is Fords called a cocktail gin?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Simon Ford designed it with bartenders specifically as a versatile, well-balanced base that holds up in classic gin cocktails rather than dominating them.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What cocktails is it best in?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"A workhorse for a Gin \u0026 Tonic, Martini, Negroni, and Tom Collins — balanced enough to suit nearly any gin cocktail.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"Fords","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42904228134983,"sku":"211081","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0640\/2375\/files\/Fords.jpg?v=1782423556","url":"https:\/\/bourbonnest.com\/products\/fords-london-dry-gin","provider":"Bourbon Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
