About this SPIRIT
No.3 London Dry Gin
More than a decade ago, we created No.3 to be “gin, just as it should be”. Since then, it has been awarded World’s Best Gin four times.
It took us two years to get the recipe just right. We worked with Dr David Clutton, the only man to hold a PhD in gin, as well as the world’s leading mixologists and Master Distillers to perfect the combination of juniper, citrus and spice.
Of course, much of the character of a gin comes from the way in which it is distilled. For this, we chose to work with a family-owned company in Holland – the original home of gin – that has been distilling for over 300 years. No.3 is produced in its 100-year-old, brick-encased, copper pot still.
The result is a classic London Dry spirit, combining coriander, angelica root, cardamom, grapefruit, sweet orange peel and juniper. Whether in a G&T or a dry martini, No.3 Gin is crisp, refreshing and perfectly balanced.

When is a wine ready to drink?
We provide drinking windows for all our wines. Alongside the drinking windows there is a bottle icon and a maturity stage. Bear in mind that the best time to drink a wine does also depend on your taste.
Not ready
These wines are very young. Whilst they're likely to have lots of intense flavours, their acidity or tannins may make them feel austere. Although it isn't "wrong" to drink these wines now, you are likely to miss out on a lot of complexity by not waiting for them to mature.
Ready - youthful
These wines are likely to have plenty of fruit flavours still and, for red wines, the tannins may well be quite noticeable. For those who prefer younger, fruitier wines, or if serving alongside a robust meal, these will be very enjoyable. If you choose to hold onto these wines, the fruit flavours will evolve into more savoury complexity.
Ready - at best
These wines are likely to have a beautiful balance of fruit, spice and savoury flavours. The acidity and tannins will have softened somewhat, and the wines will show plenty of complexity. For many, this is seen as the ideal time to drink and enjoy these wines. If you choose to hold onto these wines, they will become more savoury but not necessarily more complex.
Ready - mature
These wines are likely to have plenty of complexity, but the fruit flavours will have been almost completely replaced by savoury and spice notes. These wines may have a beautiful texture at this stage of maturity. There is lots to enjoy when drinking wines at this stage. Most of these wines will hold in this window for a few years, though at the very end of this drinking window, wines start to lose complexity and decline.
