Sipsmith is part of the new wave of London microdistilleries that has cropped up in 2009. Produced by the trio of Sam Galsworthy, Jared, and Fairfax Hall distilled in one of the first stills to start up in London in over 100 years. Their still is of German manufacture, and is called Prudence.

They produce both Vodka and Gin in finely crafted artisanal quantities of a few hundred bottles at a time, typically using the front part of the run (closer to the heads) for their creamy vodka, and the lower part (closer to the tails) for a gin. The gin, on tasting, has a pronounced juniper "snap" - very much the intention of the Sipsmith team, to cut through tonic water.

There are 4 distilleries in London at present - Beafeater, Thames (regular distilleries) and the new microdistilleries Sacred Gin, and Sipsmith, both of which are leading the way.
