About No. 3 London Dry
No. 3 London Dry Gin comes from Berry Bros. and Rudd, Britain’s oldest wine and spirits merchant, founded in 1698 in London. The name nods to their famous shop address at No. 3 St James’s Street. Meticulous and thoughtful production leads to a refreshing balance of the three key flavors of gin: juniper, citrus, and spice. The result is a benchmark London Dry, the kind of clean, juniper-forward style that defines the category. It is, by the menu’s note, the only gin awarded “world’s best” four times, a rare distinction that speaks to just how consistent and well made it is.
Tasting Notes
This is gin done classically and well. Juniper sits at the heart, framed by bright citrus and a gentle backbone of spice. It is crisp, dry, and refreshing, with the clean precision that makes a great London Dry so reliable in a glass. Nothing is overdone, which is exactly the point.
What to Pair It With
A London Dry this balanced is bright and endlessly mixable, the ideal base for a martini or a gin and tonic. From the Sparrow dinner menu it pairs naturally with Fresh Oysters, the Tuna Tartare, or a crisp salad. Our daily happy hour runs 3 to 5 PM, and the four-season patio is a great place to enjoy a martini on a warm Eastside evening.
