A bit of history

Beefeater Gin was first produced in 1863 by James Burrough in Chelsea, London. The brand moved to its current Kennington site in 1908. The distillery is named after the Yeoman Warders of the Tower of London, known as Beefeaters. It is one of the few remaining gin distilleries in London and has been producing gin continuously for over 150 years.
