Sipsmith V.J.O.P. (Very Junipery Over Proof) Gin 750 ml
-
Description: Sipsmith V.J.O.P. Gin is a bold and intense expression of their classic London Dry Gin, amplified with a significantly higher juniper content and bottled at a robust 57.7% ABV (115.4 proof). The “V.J.O.P.” moniker clearly signals its focus on juniper, making it a gin for those who appreciate the traditional piney character in abundance. While the exact botanical recipe remains similar to their London Dry Gin, the proportions are shifted to emphasize juniper, and the higher proof intensifies all the flavors. It is crafted in small batches using their copper pot stills.
