Sipsmith London Dry Gin

Detailed Description

Produced in the workshop previously used by the late, great Michael Jackson (whisky writer, not Moonwalker), this super-small-batch artisinal Gin is flavoured with restraint, making it easier for the natural quality of the spirit to shine through. Distilled in a marvellously compact pot still / column still combo. named Prudence, Sipsmith epitomises distilling on a truly artisinal scale. At the time of her installation, Prudence was the first copper pot still to be brought to life in London for over 200 years.

Sipsmith London Dry Gin Tasting Notes

Nose: Floral, summer meadow notes, followed by mellow rounded juniper and zesty, citrus freshness.

Palate: Gentle mouthfeel, with initial dry juniper joined by growing sweetness, showing lemon tart & orange marmalade, garnished by a wave of fresh lemon zest, followed by bolder juniper & light dryness, before all the flavours harmonise into one integrated taste.

Finish: Dryness leads, with spicy juniper & a hint of lemon tart emerging.

Distillery Information

It all began in 2009, in a tiny workshop in Hammersmith, London. Three great friends –  Sam, Fairfax, and Jared – set up London’s first  traditional copper pot distillery in nearly 200  years. Their mission was simple: to bring  London Dry Gin of truly uncompromising  quality and character, back to the city where it  first earned its name.

Every bottle of Sipsmith is hand crafted in genuinely small batches. Every drop of every batch is lovingly labored over by hand, by our dedicated Distillers. No regimented timings, no automatic cuts, just a craftsman’s flair and a passion for gin well made. We believe this is the only way to craft spirits of this quality.
