Sipsmith 2012 Sloe Gin 50cl (50cl, 29%)

Sipsmith 2012 Sloe Gin 50cl is a gin. Bottled at 29% ABV, 50cl. The tale begins with two childhood friends, Sam Galsworthy and Fairfax Hall, with a life-long affection for things well made…and Martinis. Before long, they had been introduced to renowned drinks aficionado Jared Brown at a Negroni party and before the evening was out he was ready to join them on their mission to create the world’s best London Dry Gin. founders faced a rather unexpected obstacle at the start of their venture, and it arrived in the form of a historic, British law. An excise act still in effect from 1823 made it impossible for distillers to obtain a licence for a still under 1,800 litres, and their shiny new still was only 300 litres. Yet, with persistent passion, unwavering vision, their petition led to the law being changed in 2008.
