Sipsmith Distillery Cocktail Party & Tour Map and Directions

Do you enjoy drinking gin or vodka?

How about a deliciously fresh tasting gin and tonic?

Have you ever wondered how they make vodka or gin?

Join us for an exclusive ‘behind the scenes’ look at this fascinating process, led by the founder of Sipsmith Vodka and Gin, Sam Galsworthy.

Sipsmith has leapt onto the London bar scene and is causing quite a storm with the city’s top bartenders and mixologists! Their  top quality gin and vodka have  won gold medals at the 2009 ‘Gin Masters’ and ‘Vodka Masters’ award ceremonies, and are enjoyed by those in the know, throughout London and indeed the world!  Miss this at your own peril!

On the tour between 5:30 – 7:30pm, you will:

•    Meet ‘Prudence’, the first copper still to launch in London since 1820. (They’ve gone back to the distilling traditions of old and it’s really paying off!)
•    Discover the various unique ingredients used to make Sipsmith Gin – Macedonian juniper berries, Spanish orange peel, Chinese cassia bark, to name just a few!
•    Learn about the fascinating history of gin, and the “oh so very English” tradition of gin & tonic.
•    Have a tasting of fine Sipsmith Gin and Vodka
•    Enjoy a specially made Sipsmith cocktail
•    Tuck into some delicious cheese and charcuterie
•    Receive a FREE BOTTLE OF SIPSMITH GIN OR VODKA -not widely available to purchase; retails at £23 – £28. (If you don’t think you’ll get through a bottle, it makes for a wonderful present!)
