Withers Gin


Withers Gin was launched in 2020 by Sarah Withers who developed her first gin, G1 Gin, under the guidance of Ed Gibson (former Head Distiller at Burleigh's Gin) and it was initially distilled at Bond Street Distillery before moving to Ed Gibson's 'The Global Distillery Company' in 2021. Inspired by Sarah's late Mum, Chrissy, the gin features heartsease flowers. Heartsease was a particular favourite of Chrissy who spent much of her free time painting wild flowers, and the G1 Gin bottle is decorated with the silhouette of one of her paintings. In 2021, G1 Gin was named 'Best in England 2021' in The Gin Guide Awards.

In 2022, Withers Gin launched 'G-Force', a 47% ABV edition of the G1 Gin recipe, in memory of Sarah's father (a former RAF pilot) who died from pancreatic cancer in 2018. At least 10% of profits from Withers G1 Gin are donated to cancer charities.

The Gin Guide Review: G1 Gin is a distinctive and impressive debut from Withers Gin. It has boldness and also delicate characters, with depth of flavour and a finish that carries on and on. Heartsease charmingly plays a key role from start to finish, but without being overpowering. A base of soft spice from cardamom, coriander seeds and cassia bark unites the flavours and emerges further with the addition of tonic, while zesty citrus intertwines with the floral notes and adds a bittersweet hint to the finish. The gin takes much inspiration from founder Sarah Withers' late parents, and she has certainly done them proud. - Paul Jackson, 2020

Withers G Force Gin
A 47% ABV edition of the G1 Gin recipe, featuring a photo of an RAF Hawk flypast taken from Sarah's father's aircraft.
  • The Gin Guide Review: The higher ABV of G Force brings extra volume and depth, with plentiful aromas of earthy spice and a sumptously smooth and gently oily mouthfeel. With ice or a dash of Tonic Water the citrus and floral notes emerge further to reveal more of the character of the delicate and light G1 recipe but with a bolder, fuller presence and while maintaining the impressive balance and harmony of flavours. - Paul Jackson, 2022

Meet The Maker

"I hatched a plan to create a gin on the way home from a business trip to Paris in Autumn 2017.  Over the next 7 days I spent every spare second creating a thorough business plan. I had a gin shed built in our garden and then set about creating our first gin. The rest is history!" - Sarah Withers, Founder
