Gordon's is a popular brand of gin produced in the United Kingdom and under license in New Zealand and several other former British territories, with the top markets for Gordon's being Great Britain, the US, Greece and Africa. It is owned by the multi-national alcohol company Diageo Plc.
It was developed in London in 1769 by a Scot, Alexander Gordon, who had opened a distillery in Clerkenwell. The Special London Dry Gin he developed proved extremely successful, and its recipe remains unchanged to this day. Triple-distilled, the gin contains juniper, coriander seeds, angelica root and other botanicals.
