SipSmith London Dry Gin

Sipsmith was founded in 2009 by Sam Galsworthy and Fairfax Hall, two childhood friends out of Fuller's and Diageo, with drinks historian Jared Brown as master distiller, in a garage workshop in Hammersmith that became the first copper pot distillery to open in London in roughly 190 years. Getting there meant challenging a British law that barred small stills from being licensed, and their win opened the door for the whole wave of craft gin that followed. The distillery later moved to Cranbrook Road in Chiswick, where the original 300-liter Christian Carl still, Prudence, has been joined by larger siblings, including the 1,500-liter Constance that is used solely for this London Dry. The gin is made from an English barley spirit and water from the Lydwell spring, one of the sources of the Thames, with ten botanicals: juniper, coriander seed, angelica root, licorice root, orris root, ground almond, cassia bark, cinnamon, orange peel, and lemon peel, bottled at 41.6% ABV (83.2 proof). It is a classic juniper-led London Dry, dry juniper giving way to lemon tart, orange marmalade, and fresh zest with a dry, spicy finish, bold enough for a Martini and balanced enough for a Gin & Tonic.
