The first Beefeater Gin was made back in 1863, of course in London. Based on 9 botanicals, juniperberry, coriander, licquorice, orris root, almonds, orange, citrus peel, angelica root and angelica seeds, it is still a real London Dry. The herbs are fused in alcohol and give a soft taste. Beefeater has become one of the most famous Gins in the world, for many years the basis of the classic Gin & Tonic. Drunk purely, it is particularly noticeable in softness, with some citrus and spiciness.
