What We Make
Our Signature Spirits
Currently we are focusing on our four signature spirits and a line of complimenting bitters.
Dry Gin 7
If you like your tweeds layered, your jokes restrained like a sahara wind through a tight upper lip, and your ‘tinis drier than Queen E’s affection for Daughter in-laws then we’ve got your juice.
Gin 7 was specifically engineered by Q to ensure a happier Bond at the Baccarat table. The result is a smooth sophisticated “London-er” that’s hit the country for the weekend. Perfection for the classic G&T and a jolly joy to the dry martini — just wave the white vermouth over this gin as it’s all you’ll need to sharpen your ‘cheerio!’

Unfiltered Gin 22
The classic distilled gin was crafted in our copper pot still by passing vapour through 22 botanicals. We present it cloudy — unfiltered to maintain full flavour.
If you were able to reach into a old photo of Hemingway and pry the gin from his hand, it might have tasted like our Unfiltered Gin 22. Why? Because he didn’t do, or drink, anything half glass or without flavour and nor do we. Our Gin 22 is so smooth and flavourful that your next martini should be straight — without the need to get dirty or be embarrassed by a vermouth.
Let this gin take you back to a time when things were done right and appreciated by people who grabbed large animals by the horns — heck, you might even run into Hemingway on your yacht.

Rose Gin
Traditional London-style gin infused with rose hips, rose petals, then sweetened. Excellent as an aperitif or in cocktails.
If James Bond could pause to enjoy his martinis, he’d probably demand it be made with Sloe Gin. Plucked from a time when the Britts ruled the world and drank elegantly from their tents in the middle of no where, our Dillon’s Rose Gin recipe does it right by infusing our seven botanical base with magical Rosehip and Rose petals in such a way that makes even M let her hair down.

Cherry Gin
A traditional dry gin infused with cherries and botanicals and then lightly sweetened. Excellent as an aperitif or in cocktails.
Could our Cherry Gin be the Farrah Fawcett of the bar cart? Really though. So bright and beautiful with just the right sweet and heat — grabbing your full attention while in the room and leaving a killer lasting impression like her poster on your mechanics shop wall. Damn. Did you adore her? Did you hate her? No matter what, you wish you’d met her just like you wish this Gin was ruling your bar cart right now. Get it before it’s gone.

Strawberry Gin
A traditional dry gin infused with fresh local strawberries and botanicals and then lightly sweetened. Excellent as an aperitif or in cocktails.
You know that day — that day each year you taste real, local, ripened strawberries and say “wow!”, this is what life tastes like. But like life, the miraculous fruit are fleeting and alas, they’re gone for another year. Well, with the help of the ancient science of distilling and your mad scientist friends at Dillon’s, we’ve devised a plan to take all the strawberries in the world (ok, Jordan) and distill them into our strawberry gin — so that in the middle of January, we can relive the beginning of summer from deep inside our evil lair. You in?
