Sipsmith London Dry Gin

Sipsmith London Dry Gin is the quintessential expression of a timeless London Dry. Bold, complex, and aromatic, it balances juniper-led dryness with bright citrus and floral finesse. Distilled in small batches in copper stills, this flagship gin redefined the modern craft movement in London and remains one of the world’s most celebrated gins — smooth enough for a Martini, yet rich and refreshing in a G&T.

Tasting Notes & Experience

On the nose, floral meadow notes are layered with mellow juniper and zesty citrus. The palate begins with dry juniper before revealing lemon tart, orange marmalade, and earthy spice. The finish is long and balanced, with juniper dryness, warming spice, and a lingering citrus brightness.

Craftsmanship & Heritage

Founded in 2009 by Sam Galsworthy, Fairfax Hall, and Master Distiller Jared Brown, Sipsmith was the first new copper pot still distillery in London for nearly 200 years. Their pioneering fight to change licensing laws ignited the UK craft gin revolution, opening the door for countless distilleries to follow. Distilled in “Prudence,” their hand-beaten copper still, alongside her sisters Constance and Patience, Sipsmith is still produced in genuinely small batches with an unwavering focus on quality and tradition.
