The London No. 1 Original Blue Gin Limited Edition Up In The Blue

The London No. 1 has always traded on its bright blue glow, a hue drawn from natural botanicals rather than additives, and this Up in the Blue limited edition dresses that signature up for occasion. Distilled in London from twelve botanicals, it leans on the elegance the city likes to project: classic juniper and fresh citrus woven through with fine spice and a thread of violet.

On the nose, fresh juniper and citrus arrive first, then a floral lightness that turns toward violets and a brush of herbs. The palate is balanced and refined, coriander and nutmeg lending spice while almond brings a velvety, faintly sweet depth and bergamot a citrus gloss. It finishes soft and dry with a gentle peppery tail. Pour it long with a mild tonic and a slice of grapefruit, or build it into an Aviation.
