What’s the story of gin?<\/strong> In a nutshell, gin was brought from the Netherlands and arrived in London in the 17th century. Today, there are more than twenty working gin distilleries in London, but gin became popular during the Gin Craze (1720\u20131751) when unregulated production led to social and government issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a decline in the mid-20th century, gin experienced a renaissance in the 21st century with the rise of craft distilleries like Sipsmith, leading to London\u2019s thriving gin scene today, filled with distilleries, bars, and festivals celebrating this iconic spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
