Origin 1639 Gin & A Most Nobel Water

Sipsmith

£50

Forget everything you think you know about gin’s past and discover our newly bestowed Sipsmith Origin 1639 gin. Inspired by the very recipe that sparked modern gin, tucked away in the 1639 standards manual of the Worshipful Company of Distillers of London – The Distiller of London. After deep diving into gin’s 400-year-old history since 1995, master distiller Jared Brown and his wife, Anistatia Miller, unearthed this little gem and cracked the code on 34 secret formulas and 16 variations, all hidden away to keep their mysteries under lock and key. It’s juniper-forward and bursting with berries

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.
