Pimms No. 1

Detailed Description

The rich amber hue of PIMM’S No. 1 comes from infusing lots of lovely gin with herbal botanicals, caramelised orange and delicate spices. We could go on about the layers of flavours and that, but it’s probably better if you start drinking it while internetting.

Pimms No. 1 Tasting Notes

Distillery Information

Pimm’s originated in a London oyster bar opened by James Pimm in 1823. Like many of his colleagues and competitors, Pimm served a house “cup,” a type of punch, to accompany his shellfish. By 1851, Pimm’s mixture of gin, fruit, herbs and liqueurs was proving so popular that his No. 1 Cup was distributed to clubs around London (a No. 2 Cup was based on scotch, and a No. 3 Cup on brandy), and by the late Victorian era, Pimm’s could be found in British officer’s clubs from Khartoum to Sri Lanka.
