In gins what is the difference between wet gin and dry gin?
Answers:
The most common style of gin, typically used for mixed drinks, is London dry gin. London dry gin is made by taking a neutral grain spirit (usually produced in a column still) and redistilling after the botanicals are added. In addition to juniper, it is usually made with a small amount of citrus botanicals like lemon and bitter orange peel. Other botanicals that may be used include anise, angelica root, orris root, licorice root, cinnamon, coriander, and cassia bark.
and wet gin is a gin made only by beefeater. it's a brand name:)

I'm going to be perfectly honest and say that it's really hard to just describe it on here.
I suggest that you taste the two side by side and then you will have an idea between the difference of the two.
It's like asking what the difference of two kinds of potatoes are, or the difference of two different years of the same wine. There are subtle differences in the flavor and mouth feel that you really can only experience for yourself.
Dry gin has no water so it's 100% gin. The wet version does contain water so it's "only" 43% gin and the rest is water. Personally, I like water so the 43% suits me.
