Sipsmith London Dry Gin VJOP (75cl, 57.7%)

Sipsmith London Dry Gin VJOP is a London dry gin bottled at 57.7% ABV in a 750ml bottle. VJOP stands for "Very Junipery Over Proof". It starts from the same 10-botanical London Dry recipe, then doubles the juniper and layers it in three passes: a three-day maceration, more juniper added during distillation, and a final vapor infusion through juniper in the Carter Head basket. It is distilled at the Sipsmith Distillery in Chiswick, London. Juniper runs throughout, piney, resinous and bright, over a London Dry backbone of coriander, citrus peel and angelica. The higher proof carries the botanicals without heat, finishing long, dry and intensely juniper-forward.
