Gordon's Dry Gin
Title
Description
1769-present
Alexander Gordon built his gin distillery in London in 1769; Gordon & Company quickly spread throughout the British Empire (starting 1800), reaching the U.S. and Canada in 1902. The iconic square-faced bottle was introduced in 1904, and in 1911 the company took out two full-page ads in Life Magazine to advertise a slight change in the bottle (see one of them below). Gordon’s is still available today.
