Copper Lion Distillery

Fiercely Independent British Dry Gin

Distilled in the cotswolds

Copper Lion Distillery is the result of a chance encounter between Angus and Minnie, combined with a shared passion for making truly remarkable spirits. After a few false-starts, a lot of luck and persistence we have finally realised our vision in Copper Lion.

As whisky drinkers, we were determined to design a gin with the balance, complexity and texture to be drunk on its own, as well as mixed. Our Copper Lion London Dry Gin is crafted with ultimate care by Minnie in the heart of the Cotswolds.

The result is something we are very proud of and we believe the quality speaks for itself.

Small Batch, Hand-Crafted Obsession

Enjoy Neat

A great gin should be just as good neat. Copper Lion has the complexity, balance and texture to be sipped.

Secret Recipe

Minnie spent a year perfecting Copper Lion and balancing its 12 botanicals to create an immaculate London Dry Gin.

A Cotswold Garden

Minnie designed the recipe to capture the feeling of being enclosed in a fresh, green Cotswold garden at tea-time.

Enjoy Mixed

Copper Lion makes a phenomenal G&T, a roaring Gin & Ginger and a mean Martini.
