Haymans Distillery: Keepers of a Tradition in High-Quality Gin Production

The Hayman family's unique and traditional gins.

Gin production for 150 years.

Christopher Hayman wins think gin career award 2017.

The Hayman family is synonymous with the art of gin distillation, having honed this skill for over 150 years.

Their story begins in 1863, when James Burrough, a London pharmacist, began producing medicines, healing syrups, and, of course, gin.

This success was continued by his granddaughter, Marjorie Burrough, alongside her husband, Neville Hayman, famous for creating Beefeater Gin in 1951.

This passion for gin was passed on to their son, Christopher Hayman, who founded the Hayman Distillery in 1987.

This move marked a return to the artisanal origins of gin, with the aim of keeping the tradition alive and ensuring a high standard of quality.

A Tradition of Excellence and Innovation

Today, at the helm of Hayman Distillery are Christopher Hayman and his children, James and Miranda, who continue to carry on this legacy with the same passion as their predecessors.

With 40 years of experience, Christopher is considered one of the UK's leading gin experts.

His expertise is reflected in his use of the traditional copper pot still, affectionately known as the "Majorie" still, over more modern distillation columns.

This choice enhances the uniqueness and high quality of Hayman gins, distancing them from the standardization typical of industrial products.
