Berry Bros. \u0026amp; Rudd, London's oldest wine and spirit merchant founded in 1698, partnered with De Kuyper Royal Distillers in Holland — a family-owned operation with over 300 years of distilling expertise — to produce the spirit in a century-old, brick-encased copper pot still. The recipe uses just six botanicals — juniper, coriander, cardamom, angelica root, orange peel, and grapefruit peel — steeped for 16 hours in a neutral French winter wheat spirit before a seven-hour distillation. The deliberate choice of 46% ABV reflects the philosophy that gin needs to sit at or above 45% for its full flavors to emerge when mixed.\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 and crisp from the outset, with an uplifting rush of juniper that gives way to clean citrus — orange zest and grapefruit peel lift through the nose. A subtle floral quality rounds out the initial impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste:\u003c\/strong\u003e Juniper anchors the palate immediately, firm and piney without being aggressive. Mid-palate, warm cardamom spice emerges alongside zesty citrus, while coriander adds a peppery complexity. The French wheat base provides a smooth, slightly creamy texture that carries the botanicals without competing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium-long, with the earthy dryness of angelica root pulling the gin toward a clean, structured close.

It drinks clean and structured, with a slightly creamy mouthfeel from its French winter wheat base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does No. 3 Gin compare to Tanqueray No. Ten?\u003c\/strong\u003e Tanqueray No. Ten leans toward a more modern, citrus-driven and silky profile, while No. 3 stays rooted in a classic juniper-led London Dry character with spice complexity from cardamom and coriander. No. 3 also sits at 46% ABV compared to Tanqueray No. Ten's 47.3%, and uses just six botanicals versus Ten's broader botanical bill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs No. 3 Gin good for sipping neat?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — the 46% ABV is assertive enough to deliver full botanical expression without excessive heat, and the balanced interplay of juniper, cardamom, and citrus rewards slow, deliberate tasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is No. 3 Gin made?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. 3 Gin is created by Berry Bros. \u0026amp; Rudd in London, England, but physically distilled at De Kuyper Royal Distillers in Schiedam, Holland, using a century-old copper pot still.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat foods pair well with No. 3 Gin?\u003c\/strong\u003e Smoked salmon and juniper complement each other naturally; fresh oysters echo the gin's briny, citrus brightness; aged hard cheeses like Comté contrast the cardamom spice; herb-crusted lamb works with the earthy angelica notes; and citrus-dressed salads mirror the grapefruit and orange peel character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes does No. 3 Gin come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. 3 London Dry Gin is widely available in the standard 750ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs No. 3 Gin worth the price?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. 3 positions itself in the premium tier of London Dry gins, and its four World's Best Gin titles at the International Spirits Challenge, a 2025 Platinum Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and a 96-point Gold from the International Wine \u0026amp; Spirits Competition give it stronger competition credentials than most bottles at its price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhy No. 3 Gin?\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFew gins arrive with the level of documented development behind No. 3 — a two-year collaboration with the world's only PhD-holding gin specialist, a deliberate six-botanical recipe distilled in a hundred-year-old copper pot still, and an ABV specifically calibrated for cocktail performance. The results speak through its competition record: four-time World's Best Gin, Supreme Champion Spirit in 2019, and a Platinum Medal at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Where many contemporary gins chase novelty through exotic botanicals, No. 3 takes the opposite approach — doing more with less, allowing juniper to lead and every other ingredient to justify its place. That restraint, combined with Berry Bros. \u0026amp; Rudd's three centuries of spirits expertise, makes it one of the most credible London Dry gins currently in production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No. 3","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44837018599593,"sku":"24897","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/No-3-London-Dry-Gin__83966.jpg?v=1730476490"}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/collections\/no-3.oembed","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
