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. Inspired by our classic London Dry Gin and the citrus gin of the early 1900s, we layer on the sweet sun-dried lemon peel, lemon verbena, and vapor-infused fresh lemons.
