Dodd's Gin is The London Distillery Company's first gin produced solely in London, following the release of their Anglo-American Testbed 1 gin samples in 2012. It's named after Ralph Dodd, who back in 1807 had planned to build a distillery in London for the creation of British spirits. Ralph's dream sadly crumbled however, much like a number of bridges and tunnels he designed.
The gin itself is made exclusively with organic botanicals, including juniper, angelica, fresh lime peel, cardamom, red raspberry leaf, bay laurel, and honey from The London Honey Company.
Juniper and bay leaf gives way to kaffir lime and then green Opal Fruits (/Starburst). More subtle notes of bracken and raspberry bush, as well as a hint of jasmine and some cardamom depth.
Thick textured with a hit of fresh lime zest, juniper and just a hint of that honey.
Sherbet and lime. Increasingly chewy before a drying finish.
A big, vibrant gin. Quite delicious.

Lovely full-bodied quality delicate spirit with a certain 'bent' as far as a London Dry is concerned. With all due respect, I reckon the cardamom (piney element) should not be in the mix and tends to take over particularly at the finish; making it a little too "peppery". With a little tweaking of the recipe this gin has the potential to be the best in the world.
It's just a lovely gin, that I can't get enough of. 49.9% is completely justified, to carry the huge hits of juniper, cardamom, honey and lime. It's a strange experience to get the smell of honey but without the sweetness. I just love it.
A totally outstanding gin. It's like bonfire night on the tongue ,With a chocolate lime after taste ..... Superb gin . Would recommend this all day everyday.
Why is it so hard to get some I love it but can't always get it and the mark up by some people is shocking
Can't understand the reviews. Not for me at all. Harsh.
