Incredibly friendly and enthusiastic hosts who made the one and a half hour tour informative but kept it fun and laid back. We were worried about being late but they were so accommodating and welcoming. Plenty of generous samples to try too which were wonderful. Would highly recommend to any gin lover.
Informative, knowledgeable, relaxed and engaging. Great history of Gin and its history. Loved the Bus and shop.
Brilliant Tour and Tasting. The American lady was very good and it was lovely to hear firstly the history and how Sipsmith came about. The tasting was also very good and nice to try different gins. The welcome drink was nice. Could not find fault with the talk and tasting as everything was explained to us. Small group of 19 so even better. Will recommend to friends and family. Thank you
A most enjoyable evening, learning a lot about gin production as well as sampling a range of different gins. The Sipsmith team was welcoming, informative and great fun. We all had a great time.
A fantastic day out experiencing the distillery, learning about the history and tasting some amazing gins.
Fab host & so much fun. Excellent value
What an absolutely awesome experience. A lovely distillery with fantastic gin. The tour was very interesting and the staff were enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about the company, the gin distilling process and the history of gin. The gin was delicious as well, and there was a lot of lovely gin tasting!
Great tour and tasting session. Welcome drink and then the opportunity to try for other gins. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guides.
We were absolutely spellbound by our visit to the Sipsmith Distillery. The experience kicked off with a lovely welcome drink by their iconic vintage bus—a perfect start to the day. The tasting room itself is located right next to the copper stills, placing you right in the heart of the action. The presentation was top-notch. It struck the perfect balance between the historical context of London’s gin scene and the inspiring success story of Sipsmith itself. The talk was expertly delivered and complemented the tasting beautifully. For me, the icing on the cake was the detailed breakdown of the production process, including a look at the spirits from various stages of distillation. As a thoughtful parting gift, we even received two miniature bottles of gin to take home. It took us two hours to get there by public transport, but it was worth every single minute. A truly fantastic experience and a masterclass in craft distilling!
We enjoyed being welcomed by Lucas who briefed us of the tour. Then, Jes served a lovely drink to start and wait for the whole group to join. Both, Jes and Lucas, very vividly explained a lot about the distillery, its history and challenges and certainly also about the excellent products of Sipsmith. And yes, the tasting was also amazing! Many thanks.
