Finsbury
London Dry Gin / 700mL
The aroma of Finsbury gin is fairly true to the London Dry style.
This isn't the best of the low-price-bracket gins, but it is far from the worst.
The Finsbury Gin brand name was founded by Joseph Bishop back in 1740 and is possibly a reference to Clerkenwell springs which was once the centre of London's gin industry and part of the old London Borough of Finsbury.
Today Finsbury Gin is owned by a German company, Borco International.
