Hayman's London Dry Gin

As traditional as it gets these days. Best Gin 2014, SFWSC.

Hayman's distillery was established in 1863 by James Burrough, after he had bought it from John Taylor and Sons. A century later Christopher Hayman, the Gin Master of the company for the past 40 years, joined the company.

Hayman's London Dry Gin is made from a recipe of 10 botanicals, including angelica roots from France, Cinnamon from Madagascar, Coriander from Bulgaria and Orris root from Italy, all of which are steeped for a full day prior to distillation to allow the flavours to release.

The Hayman's use a traditional pot still to create this as traditional Gin as they come these days. Christopher believes a pot still should be used instead of column still, to allow the flavours of the botanicals to develop their full potential. We concur! Hayman's London Dry Gin was awarded Best Gin and won Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2014.
