Produced in the workshop previously used by the late, great Michael Jackson (whisky writer, not Moonwalker), this super-small-batch Gin is flavoured with some real restraint, making it all that much easier for the natural quality of the spirit to shine through.
Distilled in a marvellously compact pot still/column still combo. named Prudence, Sipsmith epitomises distilling on a truly artisinal scale.
Sipsmith London Dry Gin is distilled with 10 botanicals carefully selected for an even drier balance than a classic London Dry Gin.
Nose: Floral with summery meadow notes followed by a mellow rounded juniper and zesty, citrus freshness.
Palate: Gentle mouthfeel, with initial dry juniper joined by growing sweetness from lemon tart and orange marmalade garnished by a wave fresh lemon zest, followed by bolder juniper & light dryness, before the flavours all harmonise into one amazingly integrated taste.
Finish: Dryness leads, with yet more spicy juniper & again just a hint of lemon tart emerging on the finish.
