SIPSMITH

Founded by childhood friends Sam Galsworthy and Fairfax Hall, Sipsmith was the first copper-pot distillery to launch in London for nearly 200 years. The "sublimely sippable" spirits they produce with Master Distiller Jared Brown, are now growing in popularity around the world.

Mention Sipsmith and many people will probably picture a beautiful copper still, a small room and three passionate friends, dressed in their eccentric finest, pouring gin from a height. In a world of industrialised food and drink, Sipsmith cut through with this memorable image, capturing what’s so appealing about founder-led spirits companies: real people; traditional skills; and a touch of irreverence.
