Hayman's London Dry Gin is the very essence of traditional English gin. Produced according to a family recipe dating back over 150 years, it is considered one of the global benchmarks for the "London Dry" style. Its distinction lies in the perfect balance between juniper, citrus notes, and delicate spice, achieved through a slow, artisanal distillation process.
Hayman’s of London - London Dry Gin
Hayman’s London Dry is a premium gin created to honor the classic style that originated in the 19th century. Unlike many modern gins that focus on exotic botanicals, Hayman’s emphasizes purity and structure. The heart of its production is the maceration of 10 selected botanicals for a full 24 hours in grain spirit before distillation; this long contact allows the essential oils to bind deeply with the alcohol, creating an extraordinarily smooth and aromatically complex gin. Distilled in small batches in historic copper stills, it is the ideal companion for those seeking an authentic, clean, and timeless drinking experience.
Sensory Profile
-
Color: Crystalline and brilliant.
-
Nose: The initial impact is dominated by fresh and pungent juniper, immediately followed by vibrant notes of lemon and orange peel. Earthy hints of angelica root and a delicate spiciness of coriander and licorice emerge in the finish.
-
Taste: On the palate, it is dry, decisive, and very well-balanced. The freshness of citrus perfectly balances the warmth of juniper, leading to a clean, persistent, and pleasantly peppery finish.
Production Process Distillation takes place according to the traditional English method. The botanicals are infused in a high-quality grain spirit and distilled in traditional stills. Only the "heart" of the distillation is used, ensuring a final product free of impurities and of extreme refinement.
Serving Suggestions (Mixology) It is the definitive gin for the classic Gin & Tonic: served with plenty of premium tonic water, abundant ice, and a garnish of lemon peel or a sprig of rosemary. Its structure also makes it excellent in a Martini Cocktail or a Negroni, where its dry note elegantly cuts through the sweetness of vermouth.
