According to the official website, El-Bart Gin is made to the original 1898 recipe. The founder was James Sceats (1851-1903), a wine and spirit merchant with offices in Bishopsgate London in the 1890s. In 1898, James and his partner Basil Willis purchased the Camberwell Distillery of Addington Square Camberwell London, where James conceived the recipe that would become El-Bart Gin. The brand became the best-selling London Gin in the USA across the first half of the 20th century, operating from the Flat Iron Building in New York and serving as the house gin of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. After James passed away in 1903, the Sceats family reclaimed the recipe and revived the family business. The El-Bart Gin (Camberwell Distillery) Company has resumed production of the gin, made to the original 1898 recipe.
