About the Producer
Founder and distiller, Ben Capdevielle, began distilling gin as a hobby with his father, “Big Jim”. Jim learned how to distill from his father, Ted, and happily passed the tradition along to Ben. After a combined 25 years in the bar & restaurant industry, husband/ wife team Holly Robinson & Ben Capdevielle set out to distill a line of gin designed for people who enjoy the taste of juniper, aptly named after his father’s nickname «Big Jim».
