Lumber's Bartholomew London Dry Gin was launched in 2018 by Pete Lumber, landlord of The Newbury Pub located in the centre of Newbury in Berkshire, at 137 Bartholomew Street. In 2018, 137 Gin Distillery was built onto the back of the pub and is named after the pub's street number, while the gin takes its name from a combination of Pete's surname and the pub's street. The logo is designed by a graffiti artist in reference to Pete's home town of Bristol. The gin is distilled in-house in a copper still which is named after Pete's wife, Laima.

The Gin Guide Review
137 Distillery has carved out an identity with its earthy gins that deliver plentiful soft spice and cassia bark, and Lumber's Bartholomew London Dry continues this theme and fits very well into the range. The nose has light aromas of juniper, cardamom and lemon peel, before earthy spice and liquorice notes develop on the palate and through the dry and warming finish. A core of traditional gin botanicals and cassia bark underlies everything to make this a versatile gin for classic gin cocktails. Lemon or lime are ideal garnish starting points for a G&T, giving contrast to the earthy spice notes. - Paul Jackson, 2020
