Sipsmith London Dry Gin 750ml
Produced in the workshop previously used by the late, great Michael Jackson (whisky writer, not Moonwalker), this super-small-batch artisinal gin is flavoured with restraint, making it easier for the natural quality of the spirit to shine through. Distilled in a marvellously compact pot/column still combo named Prudence, Sipsmith epitomises distilling on a truly artisanal scale. At the time of her installation, Prudence was the first copper pot still to be brought to life in London for over 200 years.
Nose Orange sherbet, rounded juniper warmth, fragrant grassy herbs.
Palate Juniper builds on the palate, with subtly spicy flashes throughout, mellowed by creamy citrus.
Finish Well-balanced on the finish, with drying juniper and tangy lemon.
