Hayman’s celebrate 160 Years as Family Gin Distillers in London

The story of Hayman’s started way back in 1863, when their great-great-grandfather William Burroughs pioneered the distinctive taste of London Dry Gin.  Fast forward 160 years, and the London Dry style has become the most popular gin on the planet. They are quite rightly still proud to put his original recipe in every bottle.

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 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 their family history meets their 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 working towards B Corp certification.

Recent innovations have included their Hayman’s London Light and Small Gin which offer a low alcohol G&T but with no compromise on taste. Another is their sustainable British vodka, Respirited. It is made from their distillation and production process to reduce waste, and uses rescued grain spirit to create a smooth and characterful vodka in sustainable packaging.
