It all began in 2009, in a tiny workshop in Hammersmith, London. Our Founders, Sam, Fairfax and Jared had an unwavering belief in things well made - the way they used to be, the way they should be. Their mission was simple - to bring a London Dry Gin of truly uncompromising quality and character back to the city where it first earned its name. Smooth enough for a Martini, bold enough for a G&T, our London Dry Gin is truly something to behold. Every bottle of Sipsmith is hand crafted in genuinely small batches. Every drop of every batch is lovingly laboured over by hand, by our dedicated Distillers. No regimented timings, no automatic cuts, just a craftsman’s flair and a passion for gin well made. We believe this is the only way to craft spirits of this quality. We have since added to our collection a selection of our talented distillers' most delicious experimental gins, all inspired by our London Dry recipe, such as our Lemon Drizzle Gin and Sloe Gin. Each hand crafted gin is lovingly laboured in small batches in our London Distillery – the way it used to be, the way we believe it should be.

The first full-scale distillery ever in the Cotswolds, we produce the award-winning Cotswolds Single Malt Whisky made by using 100% locally grown Cotswold barley which is traditionally floor malted at nearby Warminster Maltings, one of Britain’s oldest working maltings. In addition, we also produce Cotswolds Dry Gin, distilled with nine carefully considered botanicals, including locally sourced lavender from Snowshill and fresh hand-peeled lime and pink grapefruit zest, as well as a range of other artisanal spirits. Our distillery is uniquely located in a designated rural Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in South Warwickshire and has been founded by American businessman Daniel Szor, who now lives in the Cotswolds. We’re proud to be part of village life here – our team live locally, our neighbours help with the bottling and fruit peeling, and the spent grains from our mash go to feed the local cows. It’s all about being an active part of this beautiful region. There are some fantastic things to see around us; from Blenheim Palace to the home of Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-Avon, and all the beautiful villages in between.

Chase Distillery is independently owned, British field to bottle distillery, creating luxury spirits from their farm in Herefordshire. Their range of gins and vodkas is made entirely from scratch, growing potatoes and apples which are distilled into their range of spirits. The quality of their products isn’t by chance. It takes meticulous dedication, craftsmanship and passion from their team.
