The gin is built on a neutral grain spirit distilled to at least 96% ABV, then redistilled with nine botanicals: juniper, angelica root, angelica seeds, coriander seeds, liquorice, almonds, orris root, Seville oranges, and lemon peel. What separates Beefeater from most competitors is its 24-hour steeping process, during which all nine botanicals infuse in the base spirit before distillation begins — a step the distillery credits with producing a fuller, more layered gin than flash-vapor methods typically allow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pine-forward juniper leads immediately, followed by bright citrus zest — primarily lemon peel — and a subtle earthy undertone from angelica and orris root.

The 24-hour botanical steeping — longer than any other major premium gin — extracts a depth of flavor that faster maceration methods simply cannot replicate. Scores of 93 and 94 from the Beverage Testing Institute and the Best Gin title at the 2013 San Francisco World Spirits Competition confirm what bartenders have known for decades: this is a London Dry gin that delivers well beyond its weight class. For a spirit distilled continuously in London since 1863 using the same nine-botanical recipe, Beefeater remains remarkably relevant in an era flooded with new-wave gins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beefeater","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44836530749609,"sku":"6003","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/Beefeater-Dry-Gin__76257.jpg?v=1730459790"},{"product_id":"beefeater-24-dry-gin-750ml","title":"Beefeater 24 Dry Gin 750ML","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeefeater 24 Dry Gin 750ML\u003c\/strong\u003e is a premium London dry gin bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof) in a 750ml bottle, distinguished by a full 24-hour steeping of 12 botanicals including Japanese sencha tea and Chinese green tea.

The recipe was developed by Master Distiller Desmond Payne, one of the most experienced gin distillers in the world, who introduced Japanese sencha tea and Chinese green tea alongside ten traditional gin botanicals: juniper, lemon peel, Seville orange peel, grapefruit peel, coriander seed, angelica root, angelica seed, orris root, almond, and liquorice root. What makes this expression distinct is its 24-hour steeping process — the botanicals are left to macerate in 100% grain spirit inside the still for a full day before distillation begins, extracting a broader and more nuanced range of flavors than shorter infusion methods typically yield.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright citrus — lemon and grapefruit peel — leads the nose, closely followed by classic piney juniper.
