This summer, London
locavores are taking their obsession to a new level. The first new distiller's license to be granted in London for 189 years has enabled the
Sipsmith distillery to begin producing some high end small batch spirits.
Tipsy bloggers are raving about their handcrafted London Dry Gin, made in a gleaming copper still called Prudence and incorporating botanicals like Seville-orange peel and juniper berries. You can taste Sipsmith gin at posh bars like
Milk & Honey, as well as at gastropubs like the
Anglesea Arms and the
Princess Victoria. The latter two are just around the corner from the distillery, and Sipsmith's Fairfax Hall says, "We're delighted to show anyone around if they turn up and knock on the door!"

We're such a young company - just 6 weeks old in fact - and we product such small volumes, that we are only selling in London, UK for the moment.
But we are working on being able to sell the to the USA through our website - won't be long I hope.
Thanks for the support!!
