Luxardo London Dry Gin
Luxardo London Dry Gin comes from one of Italy's oldest distilling houses — Girolamo Luxardo, founded in 1821 in Zara, Dalmatia, distilling juniper since 1833 — and it's distilled in Torreglia, near Padova, Italy. Nine botanicals (juniper, coriander, iris, angelica, licorice, cinchona, cinnamon, cardamom and bitter oranges) are left in alcoholic infusion for 24 hours in traditional copper pot stills, then refined for 19 days before filtering, dilution and bottling at 43% ABV (86 proof) in 750mL. It's available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Two Centuries of Italian Distilling in a London Dry
The Luxardo name is famous for maraschino cherries, but the family has been distilling juniper longer than almost anyone — since 1833. Their London Dry follows the classic discipline: juniper-forward, no added sweetness, the botanicals given a full day in the copper pot before distillation and nearly three weeks of refinement afterward. The official notes read pronounced juniper, orange, violet and black tea, with gentle spice and ginger and a citrusy aftertaste.

Tasting Notes
Per the official Luxardo notes: pronounced juniper, orange, violet and black-tea flavor, with gentle notes of spice and ginger and a somewhat citrusy aftertaste — a classic, dry, juniper-led profile.
