Gordon's London Dry Gin
Triple distilled, and the plant is unnamed. Diageo owns the brand.
Diageo traces the gin to 1769 and Alexander Gordon. The page says juniper, coriander, angelica, and liquorice are triple distilled. It never names a town for the still.
Ontario's liquor board marks bottle 217166, the 1140 ml, as a Quebec product. A store line is not a company plant name. Until Diageo names the site, this gin stays unconfirmed.
Shoppers still find it beside Tanqueray in Ontario. That sister brand is distilled in Scotland.
