Miles' London Dry Gin
Miles' London Dry Gin is a 40% ABV (80 proof) gin in a 1.75L handle — a value-priced, traditional-style gin from the Sazerac Company that plays the same game as Gilbey's: a big, affordable bottle of pine-and-juniper gin built for highballs, well drinks, and anyone who burns through gin, available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
- ABV: 40% (80 proof)
- Size: 1.75L handle (also sold in 750mL and 100mL)

- Profile: gentle pine and juniper, citrus zest, a drying finish — no official botanical list published
The Big-Handle Value Gin
Not every gin bottle needs a backstory about a copper still in a meadow — some just need to be good, affordable, and available in a handle. Miles' is Sazerac's entry in the value-gin game: launched in 2014, produced across the company's distillery network (including Buffalo Trace and Barton), and styled after the classic London Dry profile — juniper-forward, piney, citrus-tinged — even though it's an American gin through and through (two marketplace listings tag it "England"; they're wrong). In 2016 the TTB reclassified it as a "Gin Specialty," the regulatory class for spirits with added flavoring, which is why the bottle reads "London Dry Gin with Natural Flavors."

Tasting Notes
Gentle pine and juniper on the nose with lemon candy and citrus zest. The palate is pine-forward and straightforward — juniper, pine wood, a touch of basil — finishing astringent and drying, which is exactly what a gin and tonic wants.
How to Enjoy
This is a workhorse gin: gin and tonics, gimlets, Tom Collinses, and Negronis. The 1.75L format exists for exactly that — don't overthink it, keep it cold, keep the tonic cold.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Miles' gin made in England?
No — it's an American gin made by the Sazerac Company, despite the "London Dry" styling. "London Dry" is a production style, not a place of origin.
What does "Gin Specialty" mean?
It's the TTB classification for spirits with added flavoring or nonstandard treatment — the label still says London Dry Gin with Natural Flavors.
What are the botanicals?
No official botanical list is published; reviews note juniper, pine, citrus zest, and basil notes.
Is it good for cocktails?
That's its whole job — a classic-profile gin at a handle price, built for highballs and well drinks.
