Hepple Gin

Amira Benali — Northumberland craft quality

8/10

From the Northumberland hills comes a London Dry of real quality at 45%. The vacuum-distilled lighter notes add a delicacy that standard distillation can't achieve. Clean, precise, and well-structured.

Ravi Krishnan — Innovation meets tradition

8/10

Hepple's approach — combining pot distillation with vacuum distillation for lighter elements — creates a uniquely layered London Dry at 45%. The juniper extraction is pure and vivid. A gin of genuine innovation.

Ryan Mitchell — Technically impressive, emotionally flat

6/10

Hepple's triple-technique distillation (pot still, vacuum, and CO2 extraction) is clever, and at 45% it's got proper body. But the resulting London Dry feels a bit clinical to me. The grain lightness from vacuum distillation removes some of the warmth I look for. Respect the technique, just don't love the result.
