Gilbey's Special Dry Gin

Gilbey's is a historic name in the world of spirits, originally established in London in 1857 by brothers Walter and Albert Gilbey. Known for its 'Special Dry' formula, the brand became a staple of the British gin industry, recognized by its distinctive red diamond label and dragon crest.

Today, the brand's ownership is split across different regions due to historical divestments. In Europe and many international markets, the brand is owned by the British multinational Diageo. In North America, the brand rights belong to Beam Suntory. Because of this widespread ownership and distribution, Gilbey's is produced in multiple countries to serve local markets, including the United Kingdom, the United States, and various regional hubs through local subsidiaries.

In the context of the European and broad international market, Diageo remains the primary steward of the name, maintaining its status as one of the world's most widely available and recognizable gin brands through a network of global distilleries.
