Wait - what's this? A dessert-ready gin reminiscent of a slice of lemon drizzle cake?
It's certainly an interesting idea, but let's just see if it all adds up:
Cake = Good
Gin = Good.
Hm. Everything seems in order so far. In the current climate of relentless gin-innovation, Sipsmith have only gone and used cake.
Except, this is actually not a new concept. You can trace this style of gin back to the 1930s, and it enjoyed wide popularity in the 1950s and 60s.
Sipsmith's Lemon Drizzle Gin is very much a homage to this understated aspect of gin history. It relied on the combined expertise of Master Distiller Jared Brown and Head Distiller Ollie Kitson to create a suitable recipe, with multiple different lemon additions.
You want dried lemon peels? It's got 'em.
Vapour-infused freshly peeled lemon? Got 'em.
A fresh lemon twist for every bottle? Got 'em.
Lemon verbena sourced directly from Master Distiller Jared Brown’s garden? You better believe its got 'em
