The Sipsmith distillers then began to channel their enthusiasm through experimenting with ingredients. They would test their mastery by balancing flavours with a seasonal theme, all based on their classic London Dry Gin recipe. In 2015 they decided that their creations couldn’t be kept from the world and the Sipping Society was born where members continue to receive the most incredible “gin-ovations” throughout the year, crafted in the smallest still, Cygnet.

In 2016, the gin went to new heights with the launch of Hot Gin Roof, a celebration of how gin was sipped centuries ago but with a surprising, contemporary twist. Now a firm date in the winter sipping calendar, the event has been hosted by the Ham Yard Hotel every year since.

Sipsmith celebrated their 10th Birthday in 2019 true to fashion. Along with a year of exciting gin-novation and the launch of their first book, SIP, they also vowed to never to change the Sipsmith London Dry Gin recipe. More stills and more distillers were introduced and more sipping occasions to serve a generation of gin- lovers.

The new decade takes Sipsmith into the roaring Twenties – a great excuse for more sipping. The gin scene is booming and since becoming the first copper pot distillery to open in London since 1820, hundreds of distilleries have opened across the UK. Gin is officially in.
