Hayman's London Dry Gin 1L

Hayman’s London Dry Gin is a true classic, crafted from a family recipe perfected over 150 years. Crisp, complex, and refreshing, it balances bright citrus and piney juniper with a gentle spice. Distilled in small batches at the family’s South London distillery, this is gin in its purest form — smooth, versatile, and made for timeless cocktails like the Martini or Negroni.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Fresh orange and lemon on the nose, with piney juniper and a hint of fennel. The palate is clean and elegant, with citrus brightness layered over coriander spice. A lean, dry finish lingers with subtle herbal complexity, making this a quintessential London Dry Gin.

Craftsmanship & Heritage

The Hayman family has been distilling gin since 1863, beginning with James Burrough — great-grandfather of Christopher Hayman — who pioneered the London Dry style. Today, Christopher and his children James and Miranda continue the tradition at their Balham distillery, only a few miles from the original site. Using traditional two-day distillation and copper pot stills, Hayman’s captures the bright, balanced flavours that define true London Dry Gin.
