Our story began at No.3 St. James Street...
when Berry Brothers & Rudd, London’s oldest wine and spirits merchants, set out to create the perfect London Dry Gin. It was and adventure that took two years, two nations, and one PhD. After all, you don’t create the world’s best gin by cutting any corners.
PERFECTION

Achieved in One Day
It took 730 days, to be exact. A whole 2 years of agonising over ABVs, balancing each botanical and refining our recipe.
We travelled all the way to Holland, the home of gin, to get our hands on a unique 100-year-old brick encased copper pot still, and worked with some of the industry's most fanatical gin experts - including Dr. David Clutton, the only person in the world with a PhD in gin, and Alessandro Palazzi, DUKES Bar's infamous Martini Maestro.
That might all seem like a lot of effort to go to, but at No. 3, we believe perfection lies in the details of details.
A LONDON DRY
and Proud
and Proud
Not just any gin can call itself a ‘London Dry Gin’, in fact, it has to be made to scrupulous standards and a particular method just to make the cut. Characterised by its dry, crisp and juniper-forward flavour, this regulated stamp of approval ensures only the highest quality and flavour.
Crafted using a base wheat spirit, flavoured with fresh botanicals and nothing else, London Dry gin is always free from artificial flavours or sugars, and there are no botanicals added outside of the primary distillation.
Made to these exacting standards, our No.3 is a beautiful balance of three flavours; juniper, citrus and spice coming from only 6 botanicals. A gin designed to elevate the humble G&T, and make a memorable martini, every time.

Only the best of our 6 botanicals are carefully weighed out.
Then, they’re added to the still and
steeped for 16 Hours in ultra pure grain spirit, (not a moment longer).
The next day, distillation begins, a process that takes up to 7 hours.
Our Master Distiller collects only the ‘heart’ of the distillate, the purest and most flavourful essence of our 6 botanicals.
We triple-check our gin (after all,
we are No. 3), to ensure its nothing short
of spectacular.
We bring our gin down to a precise 46% ABV, the ideal temperature to let
our flavour profile sing.
