London Dry Gin

Stranger & Sons Gin celebrates the cultural diversity, knowledge and penchant for storytelling as seen from our mythological epics - fantastical yet deep-rooted in curiosity and adventure.

As you take a sip of our inherently Indian gin, you're greeted by a beautiful freshness from our Indian citrus peels that include Gonghraj from the East, Oranges from Nagpur, Indian Sweet Limes & Nimbu from Goa. Black pepper, coriander and mace follow to give our gin a strong spiced middle. Liquorice, cassia and nutmeg make the finishing flourish warm and sweet.

The recipe for Stranger & Sons, was passed down by a mythical two-tailed creature who appeared to us in a dream. This mythical creature made famous for her gin, was last spotted roaming the Western Ghats of India.

Made in Goa, India

Stranger & Sons have teamed up with Four Pillars in Australia to create a limited edition gin like no other! Introducing Trading Tides Coastal Gin, a dry gin distilled in India with Australian botanicals leading the charge.

Stranger & Sons Indian Spirited Gin is unique thanks to its famous botanical blend from local sources. When creating Trading Tides Limited Edition Coastal Gin, they were inspired by the tides and coast that connect them across the Indian ocean, and kept it in mind when they finalised the unique botanical blend for this spirit ? Juniper, White Pepper, Anise Myrtle, Lemon Myrtle, Rivermint, Angelica, Liquorice, Indian Coriander, Grapefruit Peels, Dried Mangosteen, Kokum and Tamarind.

A different gin with a different flavour profile calls for different cocktails (because, well, why not? We all love cocktails.)

Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla gin is a unique distilled Gin made with the natural flavours of Seville oranges and orange blossom; other natural flavouring, colours and other fine botanicals.  Inspired by Charles Tanqueray's original recipes, the secret of this spirits lies in the uniquely bittersweet and zesty taste of Seville oranges balanced with the complexity of a Tanqueray London Dry Gin.

A blend of the purest four-times-distilled spirit and a hand picked selection of four botanicals, Tanqueray London Dry offers uniquely balanced gin experience. Tanquerays iconic bottle design is a contemporary update of the original 1948 design, which in turn, was inspired by the shape of a classic cocktail shaker.

This expression from Tanqueray uses its classic No. Ten gin, but with an additional boost of grapefruit and rosemary! The result is a zingy gin with a good citrus tang and fabulous herbal depth ideal mixed with a good Mediterranean tonic!

The Rangpur is an exotic citrus that has the zestiness of lime and the juiciness of mandarin oranges. Rangpur, ginger and bay leaves are added to Tanquerays base of four botanicals during distillation, resulting in an easy-drinking gin with a citrus twist.

Tanqueray No. Ten is a different expression from the TANQUERAY range of products. It is made with fresh citrus fruits in addition to other botanicals. Under the watchful eye and uncompromising senses of the Master Distiller, small batches of fresh citrus fruits and handpicked botanicals are distilled in the No. Ten Still to produce this exceptional luxury Gin.

The TANQUERAY? Perfect Serve?

1. First of all, take a fresh lime and cut it into wedges. 
2. Take one of these wedges and squeeze the juice from it into the bottom of your hi-ball glass. 
3. Next, fill the glass two thirds with premium quality ice and then pour in a 35ml measure of TANQUERAY® gin (43% ABV). 
4. Now, top up the glass with premium quality tonic and stir well. 
5. Finally, run a wedge of lime around the rim of the glass, so that the fresh smell and taste of citrus greets you as you drink, and for the finishing touch, drop a fresh piece of lime into your now perfectly made T&T.

For this, "The Botanist", small-batch, artisanal Islay gin we use nine of the classic gin aromatics; orris root, cassia bark, coriander seed, etc and augment these with a heady harvest of 22 wild, native island botanicals, hand-picked by our expert foraging team from the windswept hills, peat bogs and Atlantic shores of this Hebridean island of Islay.

This truly seasonal and exotic cocktail is then slow "simmer" distilled in our unique and cherished Lomond pot-still, "ugly betty". Betty prefers to work at low-pressure and won't be rushed. 

So our precious botanicals are slowly and gently coaxed into releasing their complex, signature aromatics. This was a unique project for our head distiller, Jim McEwan. Jim says he had to "learn a new dance" with Betty, and none of us knew what to expect from that first, achingly-slow 17 hour distillation. The result: a highly distinctive, complex, floral gin with outstanding finish and impeccable provenance.

 In an age of re-badged industrial gins, the Botanist stands out as a truly artisanal, small-batch, hand-crafted labor of love and distiller's art. A breath of botanical Islay in every glass.

This gin is all about Chardonnay, which is combined here with classic and modern gin botanicals. These include juniper, lemon, lemongrass, cardamom, coriander, all beautifully balanced by the big body and weight of Chardonnay, hence the name Blanc de Blancs - white of whites. It?s code for great whites in the wine world and now too in the spirit one.

Heavy botanical style craft gin. Juniper, lemon, lemongrass, cardamom and coriander ? all delicious flavour tones, uniquely decipherable, that hum together with nowhere to hide.

Pondering early rock n? roll, they thought, a few rudimentary instruments working together sound great ? so they worked with the basics to get some robust tones going, then turned up the volume. This stripped back approach is how they created Victor Gin.

"Pondering early rock ?n? roll, we thought, a few rudimentary instruments working together sounds great - lets work with the basics, get some robust tones going, then turn up the volume." Thomson Distillery

This stripped back approach is how Thomson created Victor Gin.  In this edition, Thomson introduced mukrut(kaffir) lime. You?ll get all the original Victor Gin botanicals; juniper, lemon, lemongrass, cardamom and coriander, with mukrut(kaffir) lime loud in the mix.

A small-batch-distilled gin from the Isle of Mull-based distillery Tobermory, who is better known for creating Scotch whisky. It features local botanicals including elderflower, tea and wild heather, and a dash of Tobermory new-make spirit, which is used more as another botanical rather than the full base. Initially made in a 60-litre still named Wee Mary, Tobermory Gin has a larger dedicated gin still in a stillhouse separate from the existing whisky-producing space.

Nose: Mixed peels, vanilla blossom and a hint of malty warmth.

Palate: Savoury elements sit up front - oily juniper, cardamom and kitchen herbs. Clean lemon zest and star anise notes cut through the herbaceousness.

Finish: Malty vanilla returns on the finish, with a touch of floral heather.

Twelfth Hour Distillery was born from our desire to fuse fresh, tantalizing, exotic botanicals from around the globe with premium New Zealand gin. Small batch distillation ensures handcrafted premium quality every time. 

After 22 iterations uniting global botanicals with the powerful makrut (kaffir lime) Twelfth Hour Dry Gin has a clean, crisp aroma on the nose.  An initial hit of makrut on the tongue leads into a long dry finish that sees the revitalizing taste linger on the palette.  A punchy gin prefect for summer but made to enjoy all year round.  Team with your favourite tonic then immerse a bruised makrut leaf to enhance the lead botanical or garnish with a ribbon of cucumber for a refreshing twist.
