United Kingdom

The United Kingdom has long been synonymous with gin, a spirit deeply woven into its cultural fabric. From the streets of London to the serene landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, the UK boasts a rich tapestry of gin distilleries, each offering unique expressions that reflect their heritage and surroundings.

In the heart of London, Sipsmith Distillery stands as a testament to the city’s enduring gin legacy. Established in 2009, Sipsmith was the first copper-pot distillery to open in London in nearly two centuries. Their commitment to traditional methods, combined with a passion for innovation, has resulted in a range of gins that capture the essence of classic London Dry while introducing contemporary twists. 

Venturing north to the Isle of Islay, The Botanist offers a gin that is a true reflection of its island home. Distilled by Bruichladdich, The Botanist incorporates 22 hand-foraged local botanicals, including wild thyme, meadowsweet, and gorse flowers.

The UK’s gin landscape is a dynamic blend of history and innovation.
