Green bottle, red seal, and a recipe of exactly four botanicals - juniper, coriander, angelica and licorice. What London Dry actually means, why a London gin is distilled in Scotland, what the 750ml costs, and how it stacks up against Hendrick's and the rest of our gin shelf.

Six botanicals foraged along the gray whale migration route - Big Sur juniper, Mendocino kelp, Baja limes, Sonoma fir, Santa Cruz mint and Central Valley almonds. What that tastes like, what to mix it with, and why $32.99 is the interesting number.
