Wet or dry, olive or twist, mix your martini with the gin created with input from some of the
best bartenders in the world. An abundance of delicate juniper combined with the aromatics
of three types of citrus make Fords Gin great for mixing in martinis.

Distilled in London at Thames Distillers, Fords Gin is collaboration between 8th generation
Master Distiller Charles Maxwell and Simon Ford of The 86 Company. A modern take on a classic
London Dry Gin, Fords starts with a traditional base of juniper & coriander seed and is balanced
by citrus, florals and spices that are steeped for 15 hours before being distilled. Each ingredient
blends together to create the perfect base for any gin-inspired cocktail.
