A Heritage Steeped in Quality
Since 1769, Gordon's Gin has been renowned for its unwavering commitment to quality. Gordon's Sicilian Lemon Distilled Gin upholds this tradition, using the same meticulous distillation process alongside the finest ingredients. The result? A gin that seamlessly blends the signature juniper notes of Gordon's with the zesty vibrancy of Sicilian lemons.
Unveiling the Flavour Profile
On the Eye: Crystal clear, with a hint of pale lemon that hints at the citrusy delights to come.
On the Nose: A burst of sunshine greets the nose as the zesty aroma of Sicilian lemons takes centre stage. Juniper berries peek through, offering a subtle warmth and depth. Hints of coriander and other botanicals add a touch of complexity, creating an enticing and inviting aroma.
On the Palate: The first sip delivers a wave of refreshing lemon citrus, beautifully balanced by the juniper backbone of Gordon's Gin. The citrus notes are vibrant but not overpowering, allowing the other botanicals to shine through.

This is a gin that is both invigorating and smooth, leaving a clean and refreshing finish.
