Joe Brayford From City Of London Distillery

The City of London Distillery open in 2012 and was the first gin distillery in the ENGLISH CAPITAL IN OVER 200 YEARs. Through their gins they have not only explored a variety of gin styles but also the history of gin-making in the city itself. 

Starting with a pair of 200L copper stills named Clarissa and Jennifer (after ‘The Two Fat Ladies’ of the BBC food show), the distillery has gone on to win awards and show the variety of expressions that micro-distilling can produce. 

We talk to Joe Brayford the brand ambassador for City of London about the logistics of running a distillery in the centre of such a busy city, we talk about range but in particular their Six Bells expression and of course what cocktails you can make with it.
