Description
What type of spirit it is
No.3 London Dry Gin by Berry Bros. & Rudd is a highly structured spirit with an ABV of 46%, born from the precise balance of just six botanicals. The star of the show is Italian juniper, accompanied by the citrus notes of Spanish oranges and Uruguayan grapefruit. Polish angelica root provides an earthy tone, while Bulgarian coriander and Guatemalan cardamom add depth and character. Thanks to its enveloping texture, this London Dry Gin is designed for high-end mixology, proving to be the ideal base for an impeccable Dry Martini or a Negroni with a clean and bold profile.
Where it comes from
This London Dry Gin takes its name from No.3 St James’s Street, the historic London premises of Berry Bros. & Rudd, the famous purveyor to the British Royal Household. Although the recipe is deeply rooted in the United Kingdom, production takes place in the Netherlands, entrusted to the centuries-old expertise of De Kuyper. The rigorous selection of botanicals, which combines premium ingredients from Europe and South America, ensures a solid and consistent aromatic profile, preserving the British soul dedicated to the great classics of international mixology.
How it is produced
The production process involves meticulous distillation in an ancient brick-clad copper pot still, which ensures absolute purity for the spirit. The aromatic bouquet is vibrant, defined by juniper, fresh minty notes, exotic hints of lime and mango, and warm nuances of nutmeg. On the palate, the citrus vibrancy perfectly balances the spicy heat of the cardamom, offering a silky texture with hints of almond milk. The tasting concludes with a dry and persistent finish, dominated by citrus echoes and a refined earthy trail.
History and interesting facts
Born from the excellence of Berry Bros. & Rudd, suppliers to the Royal Family since 1760, No.3 London Dry Gin takes its name from the famous London address of the headquarters. The elegant bottle features the iconic embossed key, a faithful reproduction of the original that opened the shop's historic vault. Crafted in the Netherlands by De Kuyper Royal through the meticulous distillation of David Clutton, it is the result of years of refinement. An absolute dedication that has led it to be awarded the world's best gin multiple times at the International Spirits Challenge.

Serve at:
12 - 14 °C
The Widow’s daughter Elizabeth married William Pickering (d.1734), and their family continued to run the business. As the Pickerings supplied the newly-fashionable Coffee Houses of St James’s, it is unsurprising that the shop chose an image linked to this prestige commodity as the sign of their business. To this day, Berry Bros. & Rudd still trades under the ‘Sign of the Coffee Mill’, an image that has remained outside the shop for centuries.
During this time, both No.3 and Pickering Place (previously Stroud's Court) were rebuilt by the Pickerings, reflecting the family’s success. No. 3 remains very much the same today. Elizabeth herself ran the business alone after her husband died, until her two sons (an earlier pair of brothers) ran the shop at No. 3, along with a business painting heraldic coats-of-arms next door, catering to the gentry. When John Pickering died in 1754, his brother William Jr. brought in a relation, John Clarke, to be his partner.
It was in the time of William Jr. and John Clarke that the famous grocer’s weighing scales began to be used to weigh the shop’s many notable customers, a fashionable pastime that continues to this day.
In 1998, two years before the start of a new century, Berry Bros. & Rudd celebrated 300 years in business. The run-up to the 300th anniversary celebrations was marked in 1997 with the award of Berry Bros. & Rudd’s second Royal Warrant by H.R.H. The Prince of Wales.
If the second half of the 20th century had been characterised by expansion of the traditional business, the 21st saw new sides of the business established. The beautiful historic cellars below the shop and rooms in Pickering Place were gradually renovated to facilitate private wine events and the highly-respected wine school.
Berry Bros. & Rudd’s business in Asia continued to flourish, with new websites and a physical presence in Japan and Hong Kong. In 2013 Berry Bros. & Rudd was the first major UK retailer to give the wines from China a permanent place on its shelves.
Today, with two Royal Warrants, over 300 years of history and six Masters of Wine, Berry Bros. & Rudd is Britain’s original wine and spirit merchant. While the firm embraces progress, traditions are also valued. Everyone is welcome to the Widow Bourne's shop by the Palace, whether they want one bottle or a cellarful. We are run by members of the Berry and Rudd families and we continue to supply the British Royal Family, as we have done since the reign of King George III. Read more
