Sipsmith Distillery, Hammersmith, London — the gin that restarted London's distilling tradition, produced on the first copper pot still installed in the city in nearly 200 years, using ten internationally sourced botanicals and the single-shot method that produces only 400 bottles per batch.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhen Sam Galsworthy, Fairfax Hall, and master distiller Jared Brown launched Sipsmith in 2009, they needed to petition the British government for a distilling license — because London had effectively banned small-scale gin distilling for over a century. Their copper pot still, named Prudence, was custom-designed by Christian Carl, Germany's oldest still producer, and was the first of its kind installed in London since 1820. That milestone — and the ethos behind it — made Sipsmith one of the most influential gins of the modern craft renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe ten botanicals span four continents: Macedonian juniper berries, Bulgarian coriander seed, French angelica root, Spanish liquorice root, Italian orris root, Spanish ground almond, Chinese cassia bark, Madagascan cinnamon, Sevillian orange peel, and Spanish lemon peel. Unlike most commercial gins which use a multi-shot approach (adding neutral spirit to a concentrated botanical distillate), Sipsmith uses the single-shot method: all botanicals are distilled together through Prudence at once, with only water added afterward to bring it to bottle strength. The resulting spirit is brought to proof with water from the Lydwell Spring. Each batch produces approximately 400 bottles, each hand-numbered.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Summer meadow freshness — floral with orange blossom honey, mellow rounded juniper, and zesty citrus.
