Fords Gin

Smooth earthy and flavorful. Contender for my new favorite London Dry.

They finally started carrying this stunning gin at my local store and I am soo very glad they did. I have heard nothing but great things about this but I never had a chance to try it. Then the other day the clouds broke and bright rays of sunlight shown down and there it was. Fords Gin is a wonderful mix of many if not all of the flavors I like in gin. You have Juniper (of course) as well as Orris, Coriander seed, and 3 different citrus flavors. I have sipped several gins neat and Drumshanbo is still the best neat but this is a very close second. It makes a wonderful Martini and G&T but the Vesper Martini is where it shines. You really can't go wrong with this gin. Now I will say that it did not make my top three gins for my bar rotation, but I did expand my rotation to 4 to make room for it. Also, the price is better than Drumshanbo which is about $37 in my area Fords are $30 for a liter so yeah it is a keeper. Enjoy!

Great sipping gin for 20. Decent burn and more powerful citrus and botanicals than some.

A bit rough on the palate, expected better.
