How to get to us
We are a 12-minute walk from Balham station (Northern line, zone 3 Overground and Underground) or a 15-minute walk from Clapham South station (Northern line, zone 2 Underground).
Hayman’s Sloe Gin has been named the Best English Sloe Gin in category, whilst Hayman’s Exotic Citrus Gin has been awarded the Best English Signature Botanical for its taste and flavour.
Despite the gin category embracing significant growth and with a substantial increase of entries, two of Hayman’s Gins have been recognised as ‘Best In Class’ – as well as receiving the ‘Gold’ award at New Zealand’s prestigious Juniper Awards 2021.
Hayman’s Old Tom is a rich, rounded, and versatile gin with a delicate finish. It is dubbed the ‘Bartender’s favourite’ because of its ability to enhance cocktails such as the Martinez, Tom Collins and the Ramos Gin Fizz.
As a nod to English Admiralty, Hayman’s Royal Dock is a powerful and robust gin, packed full of flavour and carried by its higher ABV. It is perfectly suited to a traditional Gimlet cocktail.
Following the success of the Hayman’s Gin online experiences last year, this February we will be hosting two Hayman’s Virtual Gin Experiences. Book online and you will be sent a very special Virtual Tasting Kit which includes a selection of Hayman’s Gin miniatures as well as Fever Tree premium mixers and a tasting mat to accompany and guide the experience.
Join our Distillery Host to learn about Hayman’s Gin, taste a selection of our award-winning gins, and learn how to create easy-to-make cocktails at home – with inspiration, top tips and recipes.
After the experience is over, guests can enjoy using the Hayman’s recipe inspiration cards and a very special exclusive discount on the Hayman’s online shop to stock up their new favourite Gin and continue to make cocktails at home.
The Virtual Gin Experience with Hayman’s Distillery is a well-deserved treat after a long Dry January as well as a special gift for the gin lover in your life.
There are two sessions – both of which are bookable now:
