Review: Sipsmith London Dry Gin
Sipsmith London Dry Gin was launched in 2009 by Sam Glasworthy, Fairfax Hall, and Jared Brown. When they opened their distillery it was the first traditional copper distillery to open in London since 1820. Sipsmith Gin is crafted from a wheat spirit base. Ten botanicals including Macedonian Juniper Berries, Bulgarian Coriander Seed, French Angelica Root, Spanish Licorice Root, Italian Orris Root, Spanish Ground Almond, Madagascar Cinnamon, Seville Orange Peel, Spanish Lemon Peel, and Chinese Cassia Bark are macerated in the wheat spirit base for 14 hours. The spirit is than distilled in one of three custom Christian Carl stills made in Germany.

They have since added a 1500 liter still to keep up with demand. Her name is Constance. Read more
