First things first. At Gintime the only kind of gin we're interested in is classic premium gin usually but not always described as London Dry. Getting legal that is "a clear, unaged alcohol, further distilled together with a selection of natural fruit and herb flavourings known as the 'botanicals'". One way to tell you're buying premium gin is to always look for the wording "distilled gin" or "100% grain spirit" on the bottle.
