Hayman's London Dry Gin is the culmination of Christopher Hayman's 40 years involvement in the distillation of Gin. A premium classic style of London Dry Gin created by Hayman Distillers who are the oldest Gin distilling family in the UK. Christopher Hayman inherited his passion for Gin distilling from his Great Grandfather James Burrough who created Beefeater Gin in the 1800s. Christopher controlled the distillation of Beefeater Gin for 20 years. He is one of the most experienced ' Gin Masters' in the trade having been involved in the recipes & distillations of many Gins over the years. Hayman's London Dry Gin reflect Christopher's belief that the traditional style of Gin is still the finest example of London Dry Gin which is designed to be used with the traditional & contemporary Gin drinks. Natural botanicals are hand picked from all over the world & added to pure grain spirit to create a unique, full flavoured Gin. Ten botanicals are essential in creating the fresh crisp elegant flavour of Hayman's London Dry Gin. Christopher believes it is the careful & consistent balance of Juniper, Coriander, Orange & Lemon peel which is vital in crafting a classic style of London Dry Gin. Christopher believes Premium Gin should be created in a traditional Pot Still rather than the more commonly used Column still used by major brands. This allows the flavours of the carefully selected botanicals to develop to their full potential. The Pot Still ensures that the Master Distiller can personally handcraft a uniquely flavoured premium Gin with great care & attention. The steeping of the botanicals is an important process & the botanicals are steeped in the still for 24 hours which is key in creating a perfectly balanced Gin. The mix of botanicals is placed at the base of the Pot Still & left to steep on the pure triple distilled grain spirit which is the first part of the infusion process. After steeping, the Gin undergoes a distillation process. During the distillation process, the stills are heated at a gentle temperature as each botanical releases its flavour at a different stage of the process. The result is a premium London Dry Gin of consistently exceptional quality. ...

Hayman's Old Tom Gin is a botanically-intensive & lightly sweetened style of gin that was particularly popular in the 18th Century & was the Gin of Choice in the 19th Century. In comparison to London Dry Gin, the Old Tom style delivers a more rounded taste experience with depth. The distinctive Old Tom Gin profile is the key ingredient in classic gin cocktails such as the Martinez, Tom Collins & Ramos Gin Fizz. The style of Old Tom is renowned for its botanical intensity balanced by a light sweetness, which imparts a more complex experience than other styles of gin. Nose: Hayman's Old Tom Gin has a botanically-intensive, sweet, lightly-fruity nose, with aromas of sweet digestive biscuit, almond & creamy lemon-citrus. Hints of ginger, dark chocolate, & sweet, spiced coffee, with a light herbal-spiciness from juniper & coriander, give a more rounded fragrance. Palate: A rich, soft, round mouth feel, yielding to a sweet, medium body of candied ginger, orange peel & lemon zest, with accents of violets, rose-water & anise, provide the nicely-balanced, traditional flavour of this lightly-sweetened gin style. Finish: The finish is a delicate, spiced-cake note with a touch of honey-icing. After an initial sweet, confectionery taste, hints of citrus & juniper spiciness supply a lovely, smooth taste. ...

Hayman's Sloe Gin is a traditional English liqueur made to a long standing family recipe that had previously only been available for private use. Carefully selected wild English grown sloe berries are gently steeped for several months with Hayman's Gin before being blended with natural sugar creating a rich ruby red liqueur with smooth & intense bitter sweet fruit flavours. Sloe Berries, a type of wild plum, are the fruit of the blackthorn tree which is native to Europe & traditionally harvested in the autumn ideally after the first frosts. Sloe Gin was a popular drink alongside other fruit gins from the 19th century onwards. Traditionally sipped as a digestif & as a winter warmer at outside sporting events, today it is still enjoyed on its own, over ice or as a long drink. It was also an important ingredient in the first cocktail era of the late 19th & early 20th century. Listed as a requisite bar item in Harry Johnson's Bartenders Manual of 1882, it was also used in classic cocktails such as Sloe Gin Fizz & The Blackthorne. ...

Haymans 1850 Reserve Gin 70cl Bottle

Hayman Distillers, the longest serving Gin Distilling family in England, bring to you Hayman's 1850 Reserve Gin - distilled to a recipe from the 1850s, which is then cask rested for 3 to 4 weeks following the tradition of Gin Palace style Gin. In the mid 1800s, drinking establishments known as Gin Palaces were commonplace on almost every street corner in London. The first was most likely that of Fearon's, in Holborn Hill around 1830. During this era, Gin Palaces changed Gin from being something that people used to drink themselves into oblivion with to becoming more of a refined social activity. Before 1861, Gin was sold in barrels rather than in a bottle. Although Gin has never had an age statement - once distilled, Gin was stored, transported and served from barrels into jugs
and smaller casks. In 1861, the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, William Gladstone, introduced the Single Bottle Act which allowed spirits to be sold in bottles. Following distillation, Hayman's 1850 Reserve Gin is rested in Scotch Whisky barrels for 3 to 4 weeks which add subtle mellow notes to the hints of spice and pepper from the Juniper and Coriander dominant Gin recipe resulting in an aromatic and full-bodied Gin. It is distilled in small batches of 5000 bottles, and each bottle is then individually numbered alongside the batch no. James Hayman commented 'We have been researching the relationship between Gin and wood for some time. The most important aspect about Gin is that its flavour is from botanicals and that it has never had an age statement. Therefore it was essential
that the wood did not dominate the Gin and the final product had to be credible to Gin. It also fits in extremely well with the period before the 1861 single bottle act when wood was used to store, transport and serve Gin from.'
