Sipsmith London Dry Gin Vjop (750Ml)

Description

Sipsmith VJOP stands for Very Junipery Over Proof. It comes from the Sipsmith distillery in London. The team starts with their classic London Dry recipe, then adds far more juniper. That recipe's ten botanicals include English and Bulgarian coriander, orange peel and lemon peel. It is bottled at 57.7% ABV, well above the usual strength for gin.

Juniper goes in at three stages. First the botanicals soak through a long maceration. Next, an extra charge of juniper joins them in the copper pot still. Finally, more juniper sits in a Carter Head basket, so the vapor picks up its bright aroma.

On the nose you'll find pine and cedar wood with a hint of zesty orange. The palate is rich and full of juniper, backed by warm spice and a touch of dark chocolate. The finish is long, slow and dry.

Judges have rewarded it more than once. It took Silver Outstanding at the 2014 International Wine & Spirit Competition. It also won Silver at the 2018 International Spirits Challenge.

Sip it neat like a fine malt, or over ice. It makes a bold Martini or Negroni and stands up well to tonic. It can also be the base of your favorite cocktail. For more bottles, browse our full gin range.
