Crafter’s London Dry Gin 75cl

Juniper-forward, citrus-bright, and confidently dry, this is the kind of London Dry gin that instantly upgrades your home bar because it actually tastes like gin should. If you’re tired of “any gin is fine” results in your G&T, this is the reset button.

Crafter’s comes from Estonia, which is exactly why it’s fun, it doesn’t feel like the same old shelf. It’s a classic style done with a fresh, modern cleanliness, so you get bold flavour without anything weird getting in the way.

• Nose: Fresh piney juniper up front, followed by bright citrus peel and a clean, herbal edge.
• Taste: Dry and crisp with a proper juniper backbone, then lemony citrus and gentle spice that keeps it lively in mixed drinks.
• Finish: Clean, dry, and lingering with a final pop of juniper and citrus zest.

What it does for you is simple, it makes your easiest drinks taste intentional. In a G&T, the juniper holds its ground so the tonic doesn’t bully the glass. In a Martini, that dryness reads sharp and confident, not watery. And in a Negroni, it brings the pine and citrus structure that Campari and vermouth love to bounce off.

Best way to drink it when you’re keeping things simple, pour it long over ice with a good, not-too-sweet tonic and a strip of lemon peel. Want the cocktail that proves whether a gin has a backbone? Stir a Martini and keep the garnish minimal, lemon twist if you want brightness, or olive if you want savoury.

If Tanqueray is your usual pick, this lands in the same “juniper means business” zone, but with a slightly cleaner, brighter citrus feel. It’s a great next step if you want a classic London Dry gin that’s still easy to love on a random Tuesday night.

Fun Fact: Crafter’s is one of the best-known modern spirits producers in Estonia, and this gin is part of what put the country on a lot of bartenders’ radar.
