Sipsmith Vjop Gin is a love song to juniper. It stands for “Very Junipery Over Proof.” The juniper is added in three different steps, to ensure maximum juniper flavor. It’s similarly constructed to Never Never Distilling’s beautiful Triple Juniper Gin; however, V.J.O.P. launched in 2013 and predates their gin by some bit.
V.J.O.P. (which of course stands for “Very Junipery Over Proof”) is made in a similar way to Sipsmith’s regular gin, except that the juniper has been turned up to eleven. With extra juniper added to the original recipe, even more is added while the gin is in Sipsmith’s lovely pot still, and it’s also vapour infused via their Carter Head. As if this wasn’t enough to make the V.J.O.P. stand out in a crowd, it’s also been bottled at 57.7% to give it a hefty, “junipery” kick.
