gin bible - amazon s3 · 2017-05-25 · beefeater london dry gin and tonic – £7.50 juniper,...

During the 18th century, London experienced a period known as the ‘gin craze’. Gin was cheap

and easy to produce and consumption was high. As a result, the government imposed a hefty

licensing fee on gin distillers, causing the industry to go underground.

Then, in 2009, gin distillery, Sipsmith, became the first copper pot distillery to open its doors

in London for almost 200 years. Almost immediately, we began to feel the effects of a gin

renaissance in the UK, and we wanted in. That’s why we now have a selection of over 70

varieties of gin behind our bar, championing rising local distillers and unique tipples. With a

series of delicious gin-based cocktails, and our gin masterclasses, there’s plenty to explore.

Each gin is a moment. We hope you enjoy yours.

This powerful and aromatic gin was developed to bring the American palate its first real taste

of gin, focusing on the intense flavours of juniper berries. It began when Seattle bartender,
