Rebel Rabbet is the eccentric-but-wonderful brainchild of The London Distillery Company’s Matt McGivern and Dylan Bell. It became an experimental side project for the duo after they stumbled across the papers of an 18th century immigrant distiller called Rabbet. They take the best aspects of beer, whiskey, and gin production, and combine them to create experimental, cross-category spirits - or rather, category-defying spirits - with the purpose of celebrating both distillers of the past and modern distillation techniques of the present. They also collaborate with local brewers, designers and producers to revive forgotten spirits and recipes in the most authentic way possible.
Their first release was titled ‘Rebel Exile Series’, and by the end of 2019 there will be 13 ‘RES’ in total, each batch containing 50 bottles. When the series is complete, they’ll auction the final collection and donate the money to a chosen charity - terrific stuff. Watch this space for more from these clever folks.
