General info :
Gordon's Gin is a brand of London dry gin first produced in 1769.
The top markets for Gordon's are the United Kingdom, the United States and Greece.
It is owned by the British spirits company Diageo PLC. It is the world's best-selling London dry gin.
Gordon's has been the UK's number one gin since the late 19th century.
A 40% ABV version for the North American market is distilled in Canada.

Gordon's London Dry Gin was developed by Alexander Gordon, a Londoner of Scots descent. He opened a distillery in the Southwark area in 1769, moving in 1786 to Clerkenwell. The Special London Dry Gin he developed proved successful, and its recipe remains unchanged.

In 1898 Gordon & Co. amalgamated with Charles Tanqueray & Co. to form Tanqueray Gordon & Co. All production moved to the Gordon's Goswell Road site. In 1899, Charles Gordon died, ending the family association with the business.
In 1922 Tanqueray Gordon & Co. was acquired by the Distillers Company. In 1924 Gordon's began production of a 'Ready-to-Serve' Shaker Cocktail range, each in an individual shaker bottle.
By 1962 it had become the world's highest selling gin.
In 1984 British production was moved to Laindon in Essex. In 1998 production was moved to Fife in Scotland, where it remains.
