THE L IQU ID
Distilled in London using the traditional pot still method
where botanicals are steeped in quadruple-distilled
English grain spirit.
THE D IST ILLATION
Once the essential oils and other flavours have infused
into the spirit, it is then distilled once more to produce
the final gin ready for blending, settling and bottling.
THE BOTTLE
The Gilpin’s Gin bottle is a modern classic design -
heavy and tactile, crystal clear, with an embossed
and silver-foiled label. Each is labelled with the year
of batch and individual bottle number.

NOSE:
Bright, bitter orange, fresh juniper and sage.
PALATE:
With juniper to the fore, this is a classic London Dry gin, with a complex
citrus blend of lemon, lime and Seville orange peels supported,
uniquely among gins, by sage and borage herbal notes and finally
the spicy warmth of coriander.
FINISH:
Angelica root’s “petrichor” base note - headily reminiscent of tropical earth
after a thunderstorm.
COMMENT:
Gilpin’s Gin, a refined and elegant classic London Dry gin, manages to
create extraordinary complexity and balance from just eight botanicals.
An incredible feat of the distiller’s art in an often unsubtle world.

“ I set out to create the best tasting and best looking
extra dry gin.
Staying firmly within the strict definition of London Dry,
I wanted to also use two of my favourite herbs: sage
and borage - giving Gilpin’s Gin its unique, bright and
herbal character.
My hope is for Gilpin’s Gin to be seen as a
modern classic - smooth, versatile and distinctive.

The Wild Boar of Westmorland, a savage beast, terrorised
pilgrims in the Lake District in the time of King John. In 1207
Sir Richard “the Rider” de Gilpin fought the great Wild Boar
and after a terrible struggle was victorious.
For his courage Sir Richard was granted the Wild Boar as
the symbol of the Gilpin family which has endured to
the present day.
400 years later Sir Richard’s
descendent, spice trader George
Gilpin, was sent by Queen Elizabeth
the First as her Ambassador to
Holland where he was one of
the first Englishmen to enjoy
(and bring home) the new Dutch
“Genever”. Within a few years there
were hundreds of gin distilleries
in London.
