Pine Forest Depth
V.J.O.P. smells like a pine forest and tastes even better. The dense resinous juniper, the faint angelica earthiness, the coriander warmth — all at 57.7% ABV with a very long finish that evolves from piney to resinous. Spectacular.

Martini King
Sipsmith V.J.O.P. makes the most incredible Martini. The double juniper at 57.7% cuts through vermouth with authority, the oily mouthfeel adds luxury, and the lingering citrus brightness on the finish is perfection.

Oily Luxury
The luxuriously thick oily mouthfeel at 57.7% ABV is unlike any other gin. The double juniper charge creates incredible density and the bright citrus contrast prevents it from being heavy. Cassia cinnamon warmth on the finish.

Almost Too Intense
The double juniper charge at 57.7% ABV is impressive but nearly overwhelming. The massive rolling juniper wave leaves little room for subtlety. The citrus and coriander struggle to compete. Brilliant in cocktails but too much neat.

Double Juniper Power
The double juniper charge at 57.7% ABV is magnificent. Dense resinous pine-forest juniper, emerging lemon zest, dried orange peel, and coriander warmth. The massive rolling juniper wave with sweetness on the palate is extraordinary.

Juniper Elevated to Art
Sipsmith V.J.O.P. at 57.7% ABV is the ultimate juniper experience. The double charge creates dense, resinous, pine-forest depth that's genuinely awe-inspiring. The luxuriously oily mouthfeel, the cassia warmth, the citrus brightness, the very long evolving finish. This is gin at its most magnificent.

Citrus Counterpoint
The bright citrus contrast is essential at 57.7% ABV. The lemon zest and dried orange peel cut through the massive juniper intensity beautifully. The cassia cinnamon warmth and dry angelica earth on the finish add complexity.
