Sipsmith London Dry Gin

Sipsmith London Dry Gin shines in classic gin cocktails, where its balanced botanicals and crisp juniper notes can take center stage. It's equally delightful sipped neat or with a splash of tonic and a twist of lemon, making it a versatile spirit for warm summer evenings or cozy winter nights by the fire, pairing wonderfully with seafood dishes or sharp cheeses that complement its citrusy undertones.

Nose: Juniper-forward with bright citrus notes of lemon zest and orange peel. Subtle floral hints of iris and angelica root add complexity. A touch of licorice and warm spice rounds out the aroma.

Palate: Smooth and balanced. Juniper remains prominent, accompanied by a zesty lemon character. Coriander seed provides a gentle spiciness, while orris root contributes an earthy undertone. The mouthfeel is crisp and clean with a slight oiliness.

Finish: Long and dry with lingering juniper and citrus. A subtle warmth from cassia bark and cinnamon emerges, along with a faint peppery note. The finish is clean and refreshing, inviting another sip.

Sipsmith London Dry Gin is crafted using a traditional one-shot method, where all botanicals are distilled together in a copper pot still named Prudence. What sets Sipsmith apart is their use of a unique "triple method" distillation process, which involves discarding the heads and tails of each run, resulting in an exceptionally smooth and flavorful gin.

• Sipsmith was the first copper pot distillery to open in London since 1820, sparking a "ginaissance" in the city. Their successful campaign helped change UK distilling laws, paving the way for other craft distilleries to follow.
• Each bottle of Sipsmith London Dry Gin contains a tiny amount of Thames water. The distillery's location near the river means their water source has filtered through limestone, adding subtle mineral notes to the gin.
• Sipsmith's Master Distiller, Jared Brown, is a cocktail historian who has written over 30 books on spirits and mixology. His expertise ensures that every batch of Sipsmith gin is crafted with both tradition and innovation in mind.
