This yellow label Gordon’s was created for the export market. Contrary to popular belief it is only the bottle and the strength that differ to regular Gordon’s gin. The same recipe and botanicals are used to make both gins.

The origin of this clear bottle and distinctive yellow label herald from a large prestigious order placed in 1907 for export to Australia. Gordon’s asked the glass manufacturer to create a special bottle and hence Gordon’s export guise was created.
