LONDON DRY GIN · THE EAST INDIA COMPANY
Remarkable
connections.
A journey between East and West.
Twelve botanicals, brought together in London.
01 / A CATALYST FOR CREATION
From one world
to another.
Tea, spice, porcelain. Ingredients and ideas have always travelled together. Our gin brings that conversation to the glass.
AN OLD CONNECTION. A NEW EXPRESSION.
A spirit of
discovery.
The historic East India Company was established by royal charter in 1600. Its trading routes carried teas, spices and botanicals between Asia and Britain—ingredients that continue to inspire our flavour combinations today.
Our own London Dry Gin began with years of recipe development, in collaboration with Charles Maxwell at Thames Distillers. Launched in November 2016, it brings twelve botanicals into a carefully considered balance.

THE GIN & TONIC CONNECTION
A meeting that became a classic.
Our brand archive tells the story of Company officers in Madras pairing gin with quinine tonic. It is one of the accounts woven into the gin and tonic’s wider history in British India. The precise beginning is debated; the connection between East and West remains at the heart of our inspiration.
