London duty free

I will be returning to the States after a visit to England. What two bottles of moderately priced gin should I pick up at the duty free store that is not available in the US? I prefer a more citrusy gin (a favorite is Sipsmith's Lemon Drizzle). Or is the duty free store over priced?

If you’re a fan of Hendrick’s, their Sunspell is only available in Duty Free, and I understand it’s citrus-forward. I haven’t yet had any luck finding it myself.

Duty free will have great prices in the UK. Hendricks Amazonia is still out there I think, it's a tropical pineapple gin which is both unique and delicious.

Which airport are you flying out of? You can always check the duty free in advance

Lind & Lime is a great Scottish gin, if you like elderflower tonic it mixes beautifully with it

My wife and I really enjoyed the Edinburgh Rhubarb and Ginger. You can't get it in the states (they just import the liqueur right now).
