Types of Gin

Gin is much more than a juniper distillate. It's a universe of styles, aromas, and nuances that vary according to its origin, production process and botanical combinations. At Licorea we invite you to discover the main types of gin you can find in our liquor store, so you can choose the one that best suits your palate, your favourite recipe or the moment you want to enjoy.

London Dry Gin

London Dry Gin is synonymous with purity and tradition. Its dry and clean flavour, with juniper as the dominant note, makes it the quintessential base for classics like gin and tonic, Dry Martini or Negroni. The addition of sugars or essences after distillation is not allowed, making it ideal for those seeking an authentic and unadulterated experience.

At Licorea you can find legendary labels like Tanqueray, Beefeater or Bombay Sapphire, essential for any classic gin lover.

Premium Gin

Premium gins take the experience to another level. They are made with carefully selected botanicals and more complex distillation processes, resulting in refined and balanced flavors. Every detail counts, from the origin of the water to the quality of the ingredients.

 Discover exceptional references like Martin Miller's, Hendrick's, Monkey 47 or Gin Mare, perfect for drinking neat or elevating any cocktail to gourmet category.

Craft Gin

Craft gin is born from attention to detail and love for well-made products. Independent distilleries, unique formulas and small-batch production define this category. Here each bottle tells a story, and every sip reflects the environment and the vision of the master distiller.

In our selection you'll find gins like Botanist, Bruni Collin's, or limited editions from local distillers who bet on originality and distinctive character.

Flavoured Gin

Colourful, expressive and surprising. Flavoured gins combine the traditional botanical profile with fruits, flowers, or spices that add a fun and modern twist. They're perfect for those looking for a more accessible, sweet or aromatic gin.

Try gins like Puerto de Indias Strawberry, Whitley Neill Rhubarb, Sikkim or Beefeater Pink, ideal for creative cocktails or to enjoy in informal and relaxed moments.

Citrus Gin

Light, fresh and vibrant, citrus gins are an explosion of aroma and flavour. With lemon, orange, grapefruit or yuzu peels among their botanicals, they're perfect for a refreshing gin and tonic, especially on warm days or as an apéritif.

We recommend gins like Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla, Tanqueray Rangpur or Cubical, all available at Licorea.

Sloe Gin

Sloe Gin is a different kind of gin: it's made by macerating sloe berries in gin, resulting in a soft, fruity liqueur with an intense red colour. Less alcoholic than other gins, it's ideal for drinking neat with ice or in cocktails with a sweet touch.

Perfect for discovering new nuances without leaving the world of gin.
 
Try options like Hayman's Sloe Gin or Plymouth Sloe Gin.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gin

What is gin, and how is it made?

Gin is a distillate made primarily from neutral alcohol and flavoured with botanicals, with juniper being the main ingredient. Its production process may vary, but generally includes distillation with herbs, fruits, and spices to give it its characteristic flavour.

What's the best gin for making a gin and tonic?

For a classic gin and tonic we recommend a London Dry gin, for its clean and refreshing taste that pairs perfectly with tonic. However, aromatic or citrus-touched gins are also excellent for giving an original twist to this drink.

What is the alcohol content of gin?

Gin typically has between 37.5% and 47% alcohol by volume (ABV), with 37.5% being the legal minimum in the European Union for a beverage to be considered gin.

Standard gins, such as London Dry, are generally between 40% and 43% ABV, while some premium or high-proof gins, such as Navy Strength, can reach or exceed 57% ABV. This proof influences both the flavour and the aromatic intensity and body of the distillate.

What are the differences between London Dry gin and craft gins?

London Dry gin is characterized by a dry and traditional profile, while craft gins usually include a greater variety of botanicals and innovative flavours, with smaller and more careful productions.

How should gin be served to enjoy it to the fullest?

Gin is best enjoyed chilled, usually in a glass with ice and accompanied by tonic and a garnish like lemon slices, cucumber or juniper berries to enhance its aromas.
