Palmers Gin is a little bit special
Our Story
The Palmers heritage takes us back to Old Street, London, 1805.
A year of great celebrations – the opening of London Docks, victory at the Battle of Trafalgar and the birth of the Palmer family business founded by William Henry Palmer.
From humble beginnings as varnish makers, the business soon grew under the direction of William’s future-gazing son Walter who expanded into alcohol production and paved the way for gin production.
Now a Palmer wouldn’t be a Palmer if they weren’t entrepreneurial at heart, and William’s great-grand daughter Angela, along with her husband, sparked the voyage into gin creation.
A gin distillery, a gin discovery and a secret family recipe handed down through generations…
Palmers gin is a little bit special.
A unique clandestine blend of botanicals, Palmers gin is infused with Angela’s zest and love for life.
We invite you to experience our exclusive gin blend and become an honorary member of our Palmer family.
Our Production & Stills
Angela (our still) was built in 1903 and is one of seven copper stills at our Langley Distillery, all of which are named after instrumental women in the company’s history.
Palmers gin is a modern classic. Created from an original 300 year old recipe, the Palmer family added a contemporary twist – introducing grapefruit peel to compliment the pine and earth tones from the juniper and angelica botanicals.
Hand crafted in small batches, our gin is lovingly overseen by our distillers and family members, ensuring an uncompromising quality.
Our dedicated team know the exact point at which this antique still will begin producing the ‘heart of the spirit’ during distillation and carefully ensure that only the best vapours are turned into Palmers London Dry Gin, with a passion inherited from Angela.
The key to London Dry Gin distillation is the expert skills and finest ingredients.

What people think of our gin…
“Delicious! For somebody that doesn’t like Gin, this went down a treat! We served it with fever tree tonic, a slice of grapefruit & basil. Was by far the best gin I’ve tried!“
“Lovely gin. Had this for the first time recently and really enjoyed it. It was a very smooth gin with lovely aromatic flavours and aroma.“
The Palmers secret is our distinctive blend of seven carefully selected botanicals – a covert recipe kept close to the heart and safe by Angela’s son Adam and granddaughter Natalie.
Each botanical is expertly weighed out by hand and placed, in a specific order, into our aptly-named still ‘Angela’ along with water and British wheat spirit.
Our mix of juniper berries, coriander seeds, cassia bark, liquorice root, angelica root, orris root and grapefruit are left to infuse overnight before being gently warmed to allow the botanicals to release their essential oils.
During distillation our still Angela – a spirited lady – is nurtured to ensure only the heart of the spirit goes into Palmers gin.
Our resulting gin is pure grace, full in flavour, dry with a wonderful grapefruit curl that leaves you wanting more.
