Thirsty Thursday - Hayman's of London Gin(s)

Jul 31, 2025

5 pm - 7 pm

The Hayman gin distilling story starts in 1863 when James Burrough, a charismatic London pharmacist opened a small distillery in Cale Street, Chelsea (then spelt as Chelsey). He experimented with a number of gin recipes, giving them names such as Burrough’s, Olde Chelsey, Beefeater and Black Cat. At that time, London’s gin of choice was Old Tom Gin, however James was busy pioneering a drier style that we know today as London Dry Gin.

James was the great grandfather of Christopher Hayman and the Hayman family have been distilling gin ever since.
