No.3 London Dry Gin

We introduced this gin to St. Louis back in 2012 ---

Back in stock now!



Berry Bros. & Rudd 
No.3 London Dry Gin...$35.99
No.3 is the London Dry Gin distilled to a proprietary recipe of Berry Bros. & Rudd, London’s oldest wine and spirit merchant. The name No.3 refers to the address in St James’s Street, London: our home since 1698. No.3 was created to be the last word in gin for a Dry Martini. With juniper at its heart, it unashamedly celebrates the integrity and character of traditional London Dry Gin: six perfectly balanced botanicals distilled in traditional copper pot stills.

Just three fruits and three spices, collectively known as botanicals, are all we deem essential to the flavour of No.3 London Dry Gin.

Juniper, from Italy, not only gives gin its name, but also the unmistakable gin taste of pine and lavender. Sweet Spanish orange peel provides freshness in the form of clean, crisp citrus. Grapefruit peel gives an extra zingy lift.

Angelica root delivers an earthy quality and helps to make the gin dry. Moroccan coriander seed releases a lemon flavour and a spicy, slightly peppery finish. And finally, cardamom pods which add a spicy, aromatic, yet warm bite.

We do not believe any further botanicals to be necessary, as they can detract from the flavours essential to a classic Dry Martini or a gin and tonic.



NO.3 GIN
Unmistakably traditional London Dry Gin.
No.3 is the London Dry Gin distilled to a proprietary recipe of Berry Bros. & Rudd, London’s oldest wine and spirit merchant. The name No.3 refers to the address in St James’s Street, London: our home since 1698. Berry Bros. & Rudd is the wine and spirit authority. This is not a hollow boast; it is a recognised fact. We have 300 years of heritage, tradition and expertise that allow us to make this claim, and a reputation as a business that is trusted to offer the finest products and the traditional standards of quality and service.

The key on our bottle was inspired by the key to the lock in the door of The Parlour at the heart of the shop at No.3 St James’s Street. The Parlour, in many ways, is the inner sanctum of No.3 St James’s Street. It is one of the oldest chambers in the shop; a room that is steeped in history and tradition. The No.3 key therefore unlocks the secrets and traditions of an extraordinary institution and symbolises our values of quality, authority and integrity.

At Berry Bros. & Rudd, our customers have enjoyed the traditional standards of quality and service since 1698. By the mid-18th century, Berrys not only supplied the fashionable coffee houses in St James’s, but also began weighing customers on their giant scales whose records, including those of Lord Byron, William Pitt and the Aga Khan, span three centuries. Berrys first supplied wine to the British Royal Family during King George III’s reign and today is the holder of two Royal Warrants for H.M. The Queen and H.R.H. The Prince of Wales.
