Of all the global gins that call themselves London Dry, only Beefeater is still made in London, tracing its roots to a distillery established along the Thames River in 1820. The name is a tribute to the ceremonial guardians of the Crown Jewels called Beefeaters; they are members of the Yeoman Warders of the Tower of London, with a required minimum of 25 years military service. The iconic Beefeater on the Beefeater Gin bottle stands as a proud symbol of the brand’s heritage and authenticity.
