In the eye of the storm, when gin & tonic suddenly became thé aperitif of the famous, the foodies and eventually just you and me, Copperhead hit the market hard by swimming against the stream. Where all the competitors were making Western Dry gins, Copperhead returned to the roots of gin and created a London Dry gin.

It is the summer of 2013 when Yvan Vindevogel, pharmacist-entrepreneur, discovers an interesting link between the mighty powers of the liquor we call Gin and his profession as a pharmacist. There, on a quiet Sunday morning, reading the paper with a cup of tea, he stumbles upon an article about the fascinating story of Gin. Intrigued by the ancient powers and the medicinal history of this drink, he sets himself a new purpose for this lifetime: as a pharmacist in mind & heart, he would bring this experience of mixing and experimenting with flavours, characteristics and herbal extracts in Gin to the people. He would give them the chance to be their own Alchemist, to create their own ‘Elixir of Life’. He would name it Copperhead Gin.
Many ingredients were listed as options to create the ultimate gin and after a month-long process experimenting with different batches, they found the perfect balance of 5 ingredients(The juniper, coriander seeds, angelica root, cardcamon, orange peel). The first Copperhead gin was born and it was named Copperhead London Dry Gin, or The Original.
