BERMONDSEY LTD

What BERMONDSEY LTD does

Bermondsey Gin Ltd is a London-based, privately held artisanal gin distillery founded by Christian Jensen and operating under the trade name Jensen's Gin from a single converted railway arch in Bermondsey. The company produces a two-SKU portfolio of small-batch, traditionally distilled gins: Jensen's Bermondsey Dry Gin (a recreation of a classic, old-fashioned London Dry style) and Jensen's Old Tom Gin (based on a recipe from a distiller's handbook from the 1840s). Production relies on small-batch copper pot distillation using only traditional gin botanicals, with no proprietary process or technical platform beyond traditional craft distillation.

The company monetizes through three channels: direct-to-consumer sales via its own website and weekend Market Days at the Bermondsey distillery, wholesale to premium hospitality venues, and international distribution via specialist wine and spirit distributors. On-premise and retail placement is concentrated in luxury hotels and fine dining — The Savoy, Fortnum & Mason, Selfridges, The Connaught, Mandarin Oriental, Fera at Claridges, and Balthazar among others. International distribution extends across the UK, Germany, Denmark, the US, Canada, Hong Kong/China, and Australia through regional partners including Amathus, Enotria & Coe, Park Street, Haromex, Sovereign Wines & Spirits, Juuls Vins & Spiritus, Drinks99, and Bibendum. Online retail is also available through specialist platforms (The Whisky Exchange, Master of Malt, Eebria, Drink Supermarket, DrinkUpNY).

Customer segments are split between luxury hospitality (the primary B2B anchor) and discerning gin enthusiasts and collectors (the D2C persona). Marketing combines organic social (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram), paid remarketing (Google AdWords, Facebook), email (Campaign Monitor, Mailchimp), and experiential engagement (Market Days, Wednesday/Thursday distillery tours by appointment). The company has no disclosed funding, no parent, and no institutional investors; it operates with a compact team of approximately 13 employees.

Core offering

Bermondsey Gin Ltd operates a small-batch artisanal gin distillery in a converted railway arch in Bermondsey, London. The company produces and sells two heritage-style gins: Jensen's Bermondsey Dry Gin, a recreation of classic London Dry style, and Jensen's Old Tom Gin, based on an 1840s distiller's handbook recipe.

Product overview

The company produces small-batch, traditional gins honouring historical recipes from London's lost distilleries. Jensen's Bermondsey Dry Gin recreates a classic London Dry style with floral and citrus notes, while Jensen's Old Tom Gin uses an 1840s recipe to deliver an unsweetened, earthy flavour profile. Both products are distilled in Bermondsey, London, in a converted railway arch.
