Fords Gin is a collaboration between 8th generation Master Distiller Charles Maxwell of Thames Distillers and Simon Ford, dedicated to creatingspirits designed in unison with professional bartenders and celebrated distillers from around the world.
A thoughtful mix of nine botanicals, Fords Gin starts with a traditional base of juniper & coriander seed balanced by citrus, florals and spices. Steeped for 15 hours before distillation, the botanicals deliver an aromatic, fresh and floral spirit with elegant notes of jasmine and grapefruit that creates a versatile base for any gin-inspired cocktail.
The journey to create Fords Gin began on cocktail napkins in the worldās greatest bars. As a āgin guruā with over 20 years of experience in the drinks business, Simon Ford found himself having countless conversationswith fellow bartenders about the need for a go-to cocktail gin āa āJack of All Tradesā. Bartenders wanted a versatile spirit that could be used in any gin-based cocktail, no matter what ingredients the recipe called for.
