SIPSMITH STRAWBERRY SMASH GIN – British Summer Rescued 🎾🍓
When 122,000 perfect strawberries faced destruction, magic happened instead.
Picture this: Wimbledon 2020 cancelled. The world's most prestigious tennis tournament silenced. And 122,000 ruby-red strawberries from Hugh Lowe Farms – destined for Centre Court's finest moments – suddenly homeless, facing the compost heap.
But Sipsmith, London's gin revolutionaries who broke 200-year-old laws to revive the capital's distilling heritage, saw opportunity where others saw waste. Master Distiller Jared Brown and his team rescued every single berry, transforming potential loss into liquid gold.
Limited Edition Strawberry Smash Gin was born from this crisis – distilled with real Wimbledon strawberries and English mint, capturing British summer in its purest form.
The botanicals that matter:
🍓 Real Wimbledon strawberries (Hugh Lowe Farms, Kent)
🌿 English mint
🌿 Classic London Dry botanicals
🍋 Citrus harmony
40% ABV | 0.7L
Tasting notes:
👃 Nose: Luscious strawberries with citrus brightness and fresh mint
👅 Palate: Sweet, sun-kissed strawberries balanced by gentle mint and juniper warmth
👣 Finish: Elegantly balanced with robust body and smooth, lingering strawberry-mint fade
The perfect partnership:
@sipsmith (London’s first new gin distillery in 189 years) and @wimbledon (147 years of pure tradition) united by obsessive craftsmanship. The same Kent berries from @hughlowefarms that create Wimbledon’s legendary tradition now live forever in this sustainable luxury spirit.
