Greenall's Original London Dry Gin

Nice light Gin - not the most flavoursome but I agree with the comment below - makes a great Martini

20th June 2020

Great gin sold out everywhere

6th April 2020

yes was very sharp.....indeed was starting made 1761 oh is long time

27th December 2018

I love it! I drink gin with soda water, not tonic, and Greenalls has the best taste - even better than Bombay Sapphire in my opinion. It is not easy to get here in New Zealand.

20th June 2018

I love it as its so easy going and refreshing

29th May 2018

I prefer this to Gordon's or standard supermarket gins and only costs marginally more. I strongly dislike Bombay Sapphire's London gin so would take this over that too. No match for Tanqueray or artisan gins, but fine for everyday. Palatable with a splash of vermouth or just about doable neat.

26th March 2018

I am the Tanqueray and Beefeater gin drinker. I do not deviate as the others I try I do not like. (Bombay sapphire comes to mind). Knowing my background, Greenall's is making into my rotation. I only go through about a bottle a month, and it is very close to the Tangueray and Beefeater but different enough to be picked out of the bunch. Very pleased and very highly recommended.

This was always a nice ease drinking Gin. But sadly its made weaker and lost all of its flavour. Looks like cheap cost cutting to me.. Greenall's shame on you.. another lost customer !

9th January 2018

This has a small nice and is palatable for starter drinkers like me. First home gin mixing I tried, better than Bulldog i thought. Very pleasant, very good for martinis and good price for entry level. Didnt try it raw however.

9th December 2017

If you like gin this is not for you. Tried it for the first time and this will be the last. Not really gin at all. Where are the botanicals?

9th November 2017

Tried Greenall's Gin in the absence of Gordons in my local supermarket. Mistake!!
Insipid is the kindest description I can think of. Totally devoid of flavour, in fact it could be sold as vodka without contravening trade description laws.

Certainly never again!

1st September 2017

Really enjoying the taste of it having with ginger ale

14th April 2017

Very nice in a martini, subtle, smooth and silky.

10th March 2017

It's okay. A tad sweet and citrusy for me, but it's an easy pour. Worth trying

5th February 2017

Unpleasant tasting. Something between bleach and chlorine. It also gives me a really bad headache after just one double shot mixed with tonic.

31st December 2016

I always chose this gin.Then they made it weaker it lost its edge.
So I dont get it anymore, you might as well by Gordons if you want something insipid.
What the hell made them do that I dont know but it was very very very bad idea.

12th November 2016

Expensive here in Canada, about $23.99 before tax for a 750ml bottle. For that amount of money, I was expecting a lot more. Taste and smell like cheaply distilled flavoured vodka.

10th June 2016

Yes, it's at the niggardly 37.5%, but supermarkets are now offering at cheap deals, so that's some compensation. What has now infuriated me is that the litre bottle I've just bought has had inserted into it's neck a silly plastic device which you might have guessed was meant to make it pour more neatly - or just maybe to produce a standard measure. It does neither: it just makes the stuff dribble out in tiny amounts. And you can't prise it out. Too frustrating to be worth any cheap price.

5th June 2016

I just bought an "American" bottle of this and it is 40%. Not sure why there are different versions, but at $8.95 for a liter bottle it was worth it.

6th April 2016

Would serve this to an acquaintance...but not a friend.
Acker score 2/5

11th March 2016

I love this gin! Soft, not overpowering!

19th February 2016

This is a nice gin for making G&T's. Nice fresh subtle flavor.

5th January 2016

I never tried it at 40% but I must say at 37.5 it is rubbish. I drink gin and lager as a cocktail. This might as well be vodka. It has NO discernible flavour and is undetectable. Just throw away your money instead. Never again.😕

7th July 2015

You have altered the flavour of this gin. It used to be my very favourite, it had a most distinctive taste, but it is slightly bitter now, I don't feel like buying it again. It used to be stronger than the run of mill others, but now, it's not a priority to add to my shopping list.

18th June 2015

The reduction s alcohol content has reduced the quality considerably. If you wanted to make money by going down the cheap route Greenall's fair enough but did you have to leave the people who really liked your gin no place to go. I urge you to bring out a 40% (or higher) gin of the flavour and quality you were producing before you dropped the alcohol content. I for one would be prepared to pay a bit more for that. If it were say £17 it would still be good value for money. As it stands I will not buy your gin again.

25th May 2015

I am furious at finding out on New Year's Eve that my favourite gin has followed the Gordon's route, sneakily reducing from 40% to 37.5% behind my back. I will never buy it again.

31st December 2014

love the london dry gin it seems it comes from the town i was born in warrington .both my wife have bought a bottle and being gin drinkers agree best tasting gin we have ever tasted.so well done greenalls.we will be buy it in future .thank you exporting it to australia .merry christmas

16th December 2014

Bizarrely, my local Co-op here in the UK had one bottle of the 40% Greenall's left among the 37.5% version of the new offering which has the bright green, modern branding you see in the picture. I've tried both and the 40% version is gorgeous and makes the perfect G&T. The 37.5% version is a much lesser product in every way. Where do I start? watery, lacking in flavour, much shorter finish and generally tastes cheap. What Greenall's have done to their gin is nothing short of criminal.

10th October 2014

there is nothing like it

14th August 2014

Greenall's Gin is still 40%ABV here in Texas USA. Still an excellent gin at a great price!

7th August 2014

Not a bad gin, seems a bit sweet with full fat tonic but has pleasant flavour. Price for price with similar it holds it's own against the mass produced Gordon's et al but have to say that drunk neat, the Greenalls is very smooth compared to others End of day you get what you pay for, always got a bottle of tanqueray for when guests have left....

11th July 2014

If you are mixing gin and drink more than one Greenalls is an excellent value!

3rd May 2014

I used to love Greenall's Gin but what others have said here is true... It used to be a 40% vol product at a very reasonable price. By reducing it to 37.5% it's now in a different market with all the others and it just isn't worth it at the price. A good deal of the pleasure of a bottle is just having something a little bit different. Sometimes it's a nice bottle, other times it's having something just a little stronger. Having a gin at 40% gave at least some confidence you weren't getting same gin that fills other generic bottles. On a taste note, I think it's lost its edge. Luckily our local Co-Op still has some of the real 40% stuff, but for how long... I'd note that according to Wikipedia Gordon's pulled the same stunt in 1992.

dear reviewers & fellow gin drinkers,
forgive me but your comments are exactly what you seem to despise. Lowering ABV as an attempt for profit taking away value from you. Sound as if someone claiming that was a terrible boozer.
Regardless of the change, mind you hardly detectable on palate, it's a great traditional London Dry. In addition it's one of most affordable ones.
Best regards, Anna Smith

Dear Sir, How can I give a favourable review when you have craftily reduced the alcohol content from 40% down to 37.5%. Not only have I seen no reduction in price but more importantly the taste does not "pack" its previous punch and intenseness and therefore the absolute pleasure from your drink has been dramatically, adversely and irreversibly affected. For these reasons I see no good reason to continue buying Greenall's as you are now just the same as Gordon's etc. i.e. light flavoured and wishy-washy, and any value for money element pails into insignificance. Similar to previous commentators I have to assume that your previous high solely quality has been sacrificed on the altar of profit!!! Regards, Graeme Fisher

28th August 2013

what a bl**dy cheek. Stopped drinking Gordon's fpr this very reason. Sa
insbury's taste the difference from no on. 43% abv & £15 a bottle

8th February 2013

Like the good man Mark Deschamps, I too was a devotee of this keenly priced yet proper strength tipple. But then they set themselves upon the road of shame...

8th February 2013

Dear Sir,
How can I give a favourable review when you have craftily reduce 40% down to 37.5%. yet I see no reduction in price. For this reason I see no good reason to continue buying as you are now just the same as Gordon's. The value for money element has now been lost. I have to assume that it was sacrificed on the altar of profit!!!
