We have been distilling gin in London for longer than anyone else in the UK. Welcome to the new Nicholson, reinvented for the modern drinker.
Our distinguished heritage can be traced back to 1736 when the Nicholson family began distilling gin in Clerkenwell, London. The Nicholson distilling process was one of experimentation, innovation, and relentless refinement.
We created the first London Dry Gin in the 1830's using 10 botanicals sourced from all over the world. Underpinned by juniper and citrus and enhanced by hints of woody richness and the sweetness of liquorice root, its unique taste has been refined for a modern palate.
By the 1920’s and 1930’s, Nicholson Gin was heralded as an essential ingredient of many cocktails. The contemporary bartender will find Nicholson Gin is strongly commended in the original Savoy Cocktail Book of 1930, “the bartender’s bible”.

Nicholson has been a brand of great distinction pioneering gin distilling since 1736. Whilst the world may have changed dramatically since we began, the superb flavour and quality of our gin remains as beautiful as ever.
