Fords Gin, a symphony of nine botanicals, stands at the heart of exceptional gin cocktails. Born in the historic Thames Distillery of London in 2012, it quickly ascended to the ranks of bartender favorites for its unparalleled adaptability in the cocktail realm.

Simon Ford, with over two decades in the spirit industry, noticed a gap for a definitive cocktail gin. Teaming up with pioneers of the craft cocktail scene, they embarked on a mission to create just that. It was their 83rd experiment that birthed the perfect formula, now celebrated as The Cocktail Gin.

Designed with the art of mixology in mind—whether for a classic Martini, a rich Negroni, or a sweet Bees Knees—Fords Gin was never just about the spirit itself but how it shines in a drink. Its nine-botanical recipe is meticulously crafted, earning accolades for its exceptional ability to blend seamlessly into cocktails.

The creation of Fords Gin is a careful, three-step process:

Steeping: For 15 hours, the botanical blend bathes in the distillery's stills, a step crucial for unlocking flavors and oils, contributing to the gin's distinct body and depth.

Distillation: In copper stills named Tom Thumb and Thumbelina, crafted by the esteemed John Dore company, the gin is distilled over five hours. Each still produces a 200-liter batch, ensuring meticulous quality control.

Cutting: Post-distillation, the gin journeys to Newbridge, Scotland. Here, it's refined with the purest spring water to achieve its final, polished character at 45% ABV before bottling.

This careful process ensures Fords Gin remains a staple in bars worldwide, hailed for its versatility and exquisite blend that elevates any cocktail.
