The tale of Sipsmith 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 (of all places) and before the evening was out he was ready to join them on their mission to create the world’s best London Dry Gin.

Their steadfast approach may not make their lives easier, but it certainly makes their gin better. Lovingly made by hand in small batches, according to traditional techniques and with the highest-quality ingredients, their craft gin is smooth and rich enough for a Martini, yet balanced and sippable enough for a G&T. After all, craft isn’t just a matter of style—you can taste it in the glass.
