Sipsmith London Dry V.J.O.P. Gin Flash Sale

Description

Gin: Sipsmith London Dry V.J.O.P.

A 2013 release, Sipsmith V.J.O.P (Very Junipery Over Proof) Gin turns the juniper up to 11 as well as being bottled at higher strength of 57.7%. The process includes a ‘triple juniper’ technique which adds the juniper at three stages – first it is macerated for three days, then more juniper is added to the pot still and finally vapour infused into the spirit. This will work well in fuller flavoured gin-based cocktails.

Size: 750mL

Proof: 115.4 (57.7% ABV)

Origin: (London, England)

Distillery: Sipsmith Distillery London

All hail the juniper berry! If, like us, you think the juniper berry is a proper champion of the botanical world, then you’ll love Sipsmith’s V.J.O.P., which is jam packed with the fresh, peppery berries. V.J.O.P. (which of course stands for “Very Junipery Over Proof”) is made in a similar way to Sipsmith’s regular gin, except that the juniper has been turned up to eleven. With extra juniper added to the original recipe, even more is added while the gin is in Sipsmith’s lovely pot still, and it’s also vapour infused via their Carter Head. As if this wasn’t enough to make the V.J.O.P. stand out in a crowd, it’s also been bottled at 57.7% to give it a hefty, “junipery” kick.

Distillery Information

It all began in 2009, in a tiny workshop in Hammersmith, London. Three great friends –Sam, Fairfax, and Jared – set up London’s firsttraditional copper pot distillery in nearly 200years. Their mission was simple: to bringLondon Dry Gin of truly uncompromisingquality and character, back to the city where itfirst earned its name.

Every bottle of Sipsmith is hand crafted in genuinely small batches. Every drop of every batch is lovingly labored over by hand, by our dedicated Distillers. No regimented timings, no automatic cuts, just a craftsman’s flair and a passion for gin well made. We believe this is the only way to craft spirits of this quality.
