Beefeater is the world’s most awarded gin brand and with its distillery based in the heart of London, it is the only historic dry gin distilled in the capital city. Created by James Burrough in the 19th century, the iconic Beefeater recipe has remained virtually unchanged and today it is guarded by Beefeater’s Master Distiller, Desmond Payne MBE. It remains beloved by international bartenders for its consistently outstanding quality and classic London dry taste.
A local hero in London and a respected gin master around the world, Desmond has been at the forefront of the gin category for over 50 years. A custodian of James Burrough’s original recipe, Desmond has worked as Master Distiller at the Beefeater Distillery since 1995. Throughout his impressive 50-year tenure in the gin industry, he has contributed his own personal achievements to the Beefeater legacy through innovative creations, including the ultra-premium Beefeater Burrough’s Reserve.
