What is London Dry Gin?
"London Dry Gin" is the mainstream sales of GIN. The so-called "Dry" means that the flavor of the wine is not sweet, rather than really "dry". In principle, the name "London Dry Gin" refers to a The type of wine is not limited to production in London. In addition to England, products belonging to this type of gin are produced in many countries, including North America and Australia. However, in some countries (such as France), they strictly stipulate that only gin produced in the UK is eligible to be sold under the name London Dry Gin.
London Dry Gin must be completely distilled, usually using high-distillation liquor made from grains/sugar cane/molasses as the base liquor. Although each distillery has its own special methods, some of the highest quality brands usually Various botanical spice formulas, mainly juniper berries, including coriander seeds, orange peel, fragrant orris root, black currant, etc. are added to the base liquor and then distilled together. As for the detailed spice formula, it is determined by each distillery. Trade secrets or ancestral recipes are rarely known to outsiders.
Originally, it was stipulated that no other flavor enhancers could be added and all flavors could only be obtained during the distillation process. However, in April 2019, the EU revised it to allow the use of neutral spirits with no more than 5 grams of methanol per 100 liters and the addition of other natural raw materials. , after re-distillation (the same as distilled GIN, the distillation method before April 2019 was limited to traditional stills, and now it is no longer limited to the type, size, and heating method of the still) after obtaining the distillate of natural raw materials, the alcohol strength needs to be It is above 70%, and only water can be added to dilute it before bottling. , but the amount of sugar added per liter of wine cannot exceed 0.1 grams (you can choose whether to mark it as not sweet), it must not be dyed, and the minimum alcohol strength must be 37.5%.
Therefore, the restrictions on London Dry Gin only mention the production process. There are no special restrictions on the flavor, nor does it matter where it is made. As long as it complies with the above-mentioned EU regulations, it can be legally stated on the wine label.
