Description
No. 3 London Dry Gin was created by the renowned London company Berry Bros & Rudd and distilled in Holland. The name refers to 3 St. James's Street, home of the manufacturing company Berry Bros and Rudd for over three centuries. Since 1760, the renowned London company has officially supplied the cellars of the British Royal Family with wines and spirits and was also the owner of the historic bar in the illustrious Royal Albert Hall in London. This London Dry-style gin, prepared and distilled according to the purest tradition, is sold in 25 countries worldwide (all of Europe, the USA and is also experiencing strong expansion in Latin America) and has been the recipient of numerous prestigious international awards, including the Top 10 Best Selling Gin Brand, Top 10 Most Trending Brand, gold medals and trophies at the International Spirits Challenge. n°3 London Dry Gin, coherent and refined, represents a perfect blend of fruits and spices. Among the fruits we find Italian juniper which gives it its typical flavor, Spanish oranges which provide liveliness and freshness, and grapefruit which adds a fragrance and an unmistakable citrus flavor, all distilled according to tradition, creating a base on which all the elements of the aromatic and flavor palette rest. Among the aromas are angelica root which gives the Gin a dry character, cardamom and coriander which add a spicy note. Perfect in the preparation of cocktails such as the Negroni, Gin Tonic, or Dry Martini.
Pairings
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
