Fine Cordial Gin

Sipsmith

Price not listed

If one was to travel back to the 19th Century and happen upon a Gin Palace, inside you’d find the tipple of choice for many thirsty Londoners was a sweetened gin known as Old Tom. Historically of questionable quality, copious amounts of sugar were added to disguise the taste of poor ingredients. A close relative of the Old Tom, but infinitely more sophisticated, was Fine Cordial Gin.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as SIPSMITH LIMITED, number 06373864. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
