Gin Notes: Broker's Premium London Dry GinPosted Jul 24th 2007 6:01PM by Jonathan M. ForesterFiled under: Lush Life, Gin, Raves & Reviews, Trends, Spirits, Liquor CabinetBroker's Premium London Dry Gin is 47% abv. / 94 proof and is made at a 200 year old distillery outside of London in a traditional copper pot still. They start with triple distilled pure grain spirits made from English wheat and then steep ten botanicals in it for 24 hours before distilling it for the final time. It is a relatively new brand in that is was created in 1998 by two English brothers.The natural botanicals used in Broker's Gin are : Juniper from Italy or France, Cinnamon from Sri Lanka, Coriander from France, Liquorice from Spain, Orris from Italy, Orange peel from Spain, Nutmeg from Indonesia or the West Indies, Lemon peel from Spain, Cassia from South East Asia, and Angelica root from France. I find it interesting that they use both real Ceylon Cinnamon and Cassia (what we call cinnamon here in the US) to give the gin a double dose of cinnamon.Broker's Gin comes in a tall, softly rounded corner bottle with a Bowler Hat perched jauntily on top.
