VRSD Gin a ultimate expression
The world of spirits can be confusing. Lots of brands, styles, flavours and stories. How do you know which ones will work perfectly in your drink of choice?… What if there was one brand who developed each product to be the ultimate expression for a specific drink?
Welcome to VRSD (versed).
Heritage
We immerse ourselves in the history and heritage of every spirit we make, and every serve that we perfect for. This way our team understands each drink at a fundamental level.
Expertise
Alongside incredible in-house knowledge and expertise, we talk to world famous bartenders and mixologists about every spirit we create and the essence of the cocktails they’re designed for.
Bespoke
Each spirit goes through a rigorous development process, with a focus on quality at every step, and a refusal to bottle until we consider it to be of incredible quality.
Optimised
Our spirits are designed to work brilliantly in classic cocktails. Here the proof is firmly in the pudding – we make sure that both our customers and our experts are blown away by the drink in the glass.
Meet the Founders
“It’s not every day you get to create something this exciting after 20 years of travelling, working and learning about drinks.”
VRSD was founded as the answer to a set of classic consumer questions – what spirit do I buy? What one is good value? What one tastes good? What one works well in my favourite cocktail? The idea was simple – to create a range of spirits across the board that consumers can trust to work perfectly in their favourite cocktail or mixed drink. And so VRSD was born.
Founders Varun and Jamie have nearly 20 years experience in the drinks trade, creating brands and marketing wines and spirits. At VRSD we have a strong set of values, which have been at the forefront of everything we do since day 1.
The Making of
Our 7 step development process ensures every spirit we craft is absolutely fit for purpose. We vow to leave no stone unturned, to be rigorous and precise when researching, testing and ultimately producing every bottle of VRSD.
We want our customers to have full visibility of our production process. From the suppliers we source ingredients from, to the mixologists we consult with and the producers we work with, we’ll make sure you have a clear view of the liquid that goes into your spirits.
The VRSD Difference
At VRSD the liquid in the bottle is our most significant priority. Where other brands may spend lots of money on fancy bottles, packaging or marketing gimmickry, we keep things simple. So you can be assured that when you buy a bottle from us, you’re getting a truly premium liquid that’s always fit for purpose.
The Result
To put it simply, every bottle of VRSD has been engineered to be quintessential, perfect for a specific serve and highly premium. The ideal range of spirits for those looking to make cocktails or mixed drinks at home with minimum fuss.
Wondering what spirit to buy? What spirit works perfectly in your favourite cocktail?

No.1 London Dry Gin
Regular price £34.99
About
Our inaugural product, a classic London Dry Gin, is highly textural and citrus led. We created VRSD No.1 Dry Gin with a brief to produce a gin which worked perfectly in a Negroni, while being smooth enough, and sufficiently textural to drink neat over ice. To achieve this we only take a small cut from the heart of the distillation, and bottle the gin at 40% abv, which we feel provides balance.
Tasting Note
Sipped neat, VRSD No. 1 Gin is citrus dominant, with orange oil and grapefruit zest leading juniper, blackcurrant leaf and a bitter, pithy note. Exceedingly well integrated alcohol and enviable viscosity lead to a very smooth mouthfeel.
With tonic, or ice, the gin opens up aromatically, revealing a sweet florality alongside the citrus, with notes of wild strawberry, elderflower, bergamot and coriander leaf.
Creates a negroni, (especially when made with VRSD No. 2 Rosso Vermouth) for the connoisseur – subtle, persistent, with great finesse, complexity and balance.
