Raise a Glass to a New London Dry Gin

https://www.barbizmag.com/images/new/sw42.jpg

SW4 London Dry Gin is a new small batch and handcrafted gin distilled and bottled in Clapham North, South London. It features a proprietary 12 botanical recipe and is distilled 5 times to create a big, complex and smooth gin uniquely suited for mixing in both classic and contemporary cocktails.

SW4 was created by Charles Maxwell, a local craft distiller whose family has been making gin there for 300 years and is one of only a handful of spirits producers still working on site in London. SW4 is truly an authentic London Dry Gin.

While the herbaceous spirit is great year-round, summer provides many opportunities to break out the gin and give one of SW4 London Dry Gin’s exclusive recipes a whirl. These are perfect for toasting any celebration all summer long.

Kool Kiss is the quintessential party punch, featuring seasonal fresh fruit balanced by tart Orange Bitters; this is the perfect summer sipper. Meanwhile, Summer Berry Bramble captures the flavors and colors of the season in a simple yet sophisticated cocktail that no one can resist.
