When Luxardo started to produce its London Dry Gin, based on the family’s own early 20th-century ginepro di Dalmazia, it was perhaps inevitable that they’d eventually infuse it with their famed marasca cherry juice. Despite the dark, thick appearance – its movie-use bloodiness could play well at Halloween – the classic gin botanicals are clearest on the nose: juniper, coriander, cinnamon (the gin also lists iris, angelica, sedge, liquorice and cardamom, and bitter orange), with cherry’s almond stone and rich fruit providing a sweet base note.
