I’m the founder of Jim & Tonic Distillery Co.
I've always been partial to a G&T, since way back when it was typically accepted as your Gran’s drink of choice in the UK. Most British pubs would only stock Gordon’s, diluted with a flat tonic, a solitary ice cube and a scabby bit of lemon.
My expectations changed on a ski trip to Norway in 2016 when I visited bars serving unbelievable gin & tonic serves in huge balloon glasses, complete with epic garnishes and premium tonics.
Heading back to the UK, I knew we could do better - that’s when Jim & Tonic was born.
Nearly a decade later, we’ve evolved from serving spirits out of a converted vintage van to creating them ourselves in our custom-built distillery.
Made in East London, these are urban spirits that we hold an honest commitment to producing sustainably, from our reusable packaging to our locally-sourced ingredients (wherever we can). Just like a fine spirit, this is something we’re not rushing, we’re perfecting each stage over time.
As a team, we run award-winning bars, distil delicious liquids and deliver our drinks to hundreds of events, bars and festivals - and homes too.
These days, we’re not just about gin anymore. Our master distiller is just that, a master, introducing rums, limited releases and more. I suppose the only thing left to decide is which one will you try first? Enjoy!
OUR JOURNEY SO FAR
We're chuffed that our distillery products have been recognised by some of the world's leading Spirits judges.
