Definition: London Dry Gin doesn't have to be made in the U.K., however, the dominant flavor should be that of the Juniper botanical. Gins' base spirit is made by fermenting and distilling almost any agricultural product (known as a mash) - most use corn, barley, or wheat. It is distilled to over 96% ABV, and then, London Dry gin must be redistilled to at least 70% ABV without artificial ingredients, sweeteners, or colour added. During this redistillation, Juniper, the dominant botanical, is added along with other botanicals of the distillers choice (anise, angelica, orris and/or licorice root, savory, coriander, citrus peel, etc.).
