Sacred Microdistillery is a microdistillery located in Highgate, London. It is unusual in that it distils its spirits under a vacuum in glassware, and thus at a lower temperature than traditional pot stills, which operate at atmospheric pressure. The microdistillery operates out of the back room of a residential house, with a vacuum plant situated in a wendy-house in the distiller's back garden. It is an authorised Customs and Excise distillery. == History == Sacred Microdistillery was established in London in 2009; it is the only vacuum distillery in London. Sipsmith Distillery in Hammersmith started at a similar time, but is an atmospheric pressure copper pot. Sacred Microdistillery was launched by Ian Hart and Hilary Whitney initially as a pure Gin distillery, but this has now branched out into flavoured vodkas, such as Sacred Vodka, produced using the same process. Also now produced are Vermouths using English Wine and An English alternative to Campari - Rosehip Cup. Sacred Microdistillery is based on a residential street in North London. It distributes its products to over 50 bars and restaurants in North and Central London, This includes Duke's Bar in St James's, where Ian Fleming invented the Vesper cocktail. It is also stocked by Fortnum and Mason in Piccadilly, and Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons in Oxfordshire,〔 and Gerry's of Old Compton Street. Sacred Gin came first in its category in the Ginmasters 2009 competition, which is a blind tasting competition organised by ''The Spirits Business'' magazine. More recently, Sacred Gin placed in the top three alongside Hendrick's and Tanqueray 10 gins in another blind tasting organised by ''Imbibe'' magazine. The distiller started on a small scale, and personally delivered stock to local bars and restaurants on London's tubes and buses before acquiring an on-trade distributor, Coe Vintners.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sacred Microdistillery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
