In 2009, three friends embarked on a mission to bring back the traditional methods of distilling gin to London once again.
They opened their doors on Nasmyth Street, London and launched the first traditional copper distillery in London for over 200 years.
Handcrafting their gin in small batches, Sipsmith have now opened a larger distillery housing their lovingly named copper stills, Prudence, Patience and Constance, who meticulously distil their exquisite range of gins and vodka.
Born from passion, love and careful craftsmanship, Sipsmith are one of the most prestigious and recognised distillers in London today.
The Quintessential London Gin
It all started in 2009 with a simple mission shared by our three founders - to bring a London Dry Gin of truly uncompromising quality and character back to the city where it first earned its name. Smooth enough for a Martini, bold enough for a G&T, our London Dry Gin is something to behold
We've since added a selection of our talented distillers' most delicious gins, all inspired by our London Dry Gin recipe, such as Lemon Drizzle Gin, Zesty Orange Gin, Strawberry Smash Gin. Each hand crafted gin is lovingly laboured in small batches in our London Distillery - the way it used to be, the way it should be'.
