Rives London Dry Gin

London Dry Gin | NV | 37.5% | 70 cl | Spain

Breathe in the crispness of white pine, a lemon twist gliding over an orange grove, and the quiet hum of wild herbs rising in an alchemy that's delicate yet confident—not a moment of bravado, but a steady, knowing hand behind every sip. Here, juniper unfolds subtly alongside threads of spice and root, each flavor leaning into the next, balanced by an undercurrent of candied citrus that lingers with transparent clarity—a conversation you return to, not because it shouts, but because it listens.

Storage advice

For optimal storage of London Dry Gin to preserve its quality and shelf life consider these practical recommendations:

- Temperature: Store gin in a cool place ideally between 15 to 20°C (59 to 68°F). For even better preservation refrigeration around 4°C (39°F) can minimize oxidation and evaporation though this is not mandatory.

- Light Exposure: Keep gin away from direct sunlight. Light especially sunlight degrades the botanicals and can alter flavor and color. Use a dark cupboard or storage away from windows or other sources of strong light.

- Sealing: Always ensure the bottle’s cap or cork is tightly sealed to prevent oxidation and evaporation. Open bottles should be resealed immediately after use to maintain freshness.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright particularly if corked with natural cork to avoid the alcohol dissolving cork material which could negatively affect taste. Artificial cork bottles have less concern but upright storage is still best practice.

- Humidity: Moderate humidity is preferable to keep corks in good condition but gin bottles are rarely sensitive to humidity if sealed properly. Avoid extremely dry or overly humid environments which might degrade natural cork stoppers over time.

- Special Tips for Opened Bottles: To slow oxidation after opening keep bottles in a cool dark place with minimal temperature fluctuation. If you do not expect to use the gin soon consider transferring remaining gin into a smaller bottle to reduce air exposure and extend shelf life.

These guidelines apply to unopened and opened bottles alike with tighter sealing and possibly refrigeration becoming more important after opening to maintain optimal quality. Avoid storing gin in places subject to heat and temperature swings such as near ovens or in direct sun.
