The story behind it
The maker
Founded in 1857 by brothers Walter and Albert Gilbey in London, the brand originally started as a wine importing business before expanding into gin distillation. Their signature London Dry Gin became globally recognized for its quality-to-value ratio, earning a historic reputation as a reliable backbar staple.
How it is made
Gilbey's was established as a London Dry gin that emphasizes traditional botanical distillation. The production estate utilizes a recipe rich in juniper berries, bitter orange peel, and coriander to achieve its classic, time-tested dry flavor profile.
