England is proud of its distilled spirits and is most famous for producing London Dry Gin. The term “London Dry” is a quality designation that requires the base spirit to be distilled to a completely neutral spirit of 96% ABV, flavored using only natural plant materials through distillation, and can have nothing added after distillation except water and a small amount of sugar. There is much more to the country's distilleries than just gin. England’s new breed of distillers is producing everything from vodkas that rival Eastern Europe’s best offerings to whisky that would satisfy traditional scotch drinkers.  Spirits production in England continues to grow as a result of a commitment to quality and dedication to distilling, bottling, and aging each spirit to achieve very nuanced characteristics, flavors, and textures.
