The story of Hayman’s started way back in 1863, when Christopher’s great-great-grandfather, a curious pharmacist, bought a gin rectifying business in Cale Street, Chelsea and pioneered the distinctive taste of London Dry Gin.
The coveted family English Gin recipes that he created have been passed down from generation to generation. Five generations of English Gin makers later, Hayman Distillers is run by Christopher Hayman and his children James and Miranda, who are proud to be making English Gin to the original family recipe from 1863.
Fast forward 160 years, and the London Dry style has become the most popular gin on the planet. They’re still proud to put his original recipe in every bottle.
Hayman’s Gin is a range of different gin styles, which follow the history and evolution of English Gin over the last 150 years.
As an independent family business, they really care about what they make, who they work with and the people who enjoy their gin. Family is at the heart of everything they do.
Their Hayman’s London Distillery is home to tours, cocktail masterclasses and more, but above all it’s where they make their great-tasting gins, distilling ten botanicals over two full days in gleaming copper stills named after female family members Marjorie, Karin and Miranda.
It’s also where the family history meets the future. This is where they innovate and experiment to find new flavours and expressions. And it’s where they find new ways to make their business sustainable, sourcing renewable ingredients and recycling waste, and achieving the B-Corp certification.
