Gordon's Gin
Compare 12 prices from NZ$34
Gordon's is one of the enduring classics of London Dry gin, first created in London in 1769 by Alexander Gordon. Now owned by Diageo, it remains one of the world's most widely recognised gin brands, with a reputation built on clarity, consistency and an unmistakably juniper-led style.
The original Gordon's London Dry is made to be crisp, dry and highly mixable, with juniper at the centre and supporting botanicals adding citrus lift, herbal depth and gentle spice. Its straightforward, refreshing profile has made it a longstanding favourite for the gin and tonic, while also giving it a natural place in classic serves such as the Martini, Gimlet and Tom Collins.
The range has expanded beyond the core London Dry to include Sloe Gin, Premium Pink, Sicilian Lemon and alcohol-free 0.0% variants, reflecting the broader shape of modern gin drinking. Even so, the brand's identity remains anchored in the traditional dry gin style rather than in overt sweetness or novelty.
Gordon's appeal lies in its reliability and restraint. It is a familiar, accessible gin with genuine historical weight: practical enough for everyday mixing, but still rooted in the clean, juniper-forward character that helped define the London Dry category.
