Distilled in London at Thames Distillers, Fords Gin is a collaboration between 10th generation Master Distiller, Charles Maxwell of Thames Distillers, and Simon Ford whose work over the past 20 years has been educating bartenders around the globe on gin. Throughout his journey, Ford listened carefully when bartenders told him they were searching for in a great cocktail gin. He took his findings to Charles and Fords Gin was created.
Fords Gin is made with a thoughtful mix of 9 botanicals sourced from around the world. Starting with a traditional base of juniper berries and coriander seeds it is balanced by citrus, florals and spices. The botanicals are steeped for 15 hours before distillation to maximize flavor, delivering an aromatic, fresh and floral spirit with elegant notes of jasmine and grapefruit that is a versatile base for gin-inspired cocktails.

Nose
Juniper, coriander and angelica root up front with developing layers of citrus, jasmine, and hints of vanilla in the back. Very pleasant on the nose, bright, and aromatic. -
Front of Palate
Light sweetness on tip of the tongue. Gentle introduction of the botanicals to follow. Notes of orris and angelica roots. -
Mid-palate
Prominent mid-palate presence, with juniper oils on the center tongue and full aroma on top palate. Citrus oils excite the side palate beautifully. Under tongue stays dry yet animated. Excellent mid-palate structure to serve as base for mixing. -

Long, lingering finish of grapefruit rind and juniper with a balance of the floral notes.
