Following idols like Nigel Mansell, Jackie Stewart and Graham Hill, Hamish Gordon’s talent and passion for racing has led him to podium glory and competing against accomplished drivers like Jenson Button. Hamish’s latest feat, however, sees a Graham Hill-esque mascot adorning the label of a unique, innovative, non-alcoholic gin brand - The Driver’s Tipple.

Having launched in 2018, the truly remarkable alternative to regular gin - as host Lee Cooper will attest to after an on-air taster in this podcast - has grown through the strength of Hamish’s network, quality of the product, and customers’ connection to the tongue-in-cheek brand & loveable mascots Miles and Ophelia.

Discover the story behind The Driver’s Tipple’s arduous development and progression since their successful launch on this episode of Extrology.

Lee and Hamish discuss:

  • Hamish’s early entry into motorsport and racing idols
  • Competing in Formula Ford against the likes of Jenson Button
  • Finding podium success in international races
  • The inspiration to start an innovative, revolutionary drinks brand
  • Entering the market as our drinking culture and habits shift towards healthier, more experimental lifestyles
  • The invaluable support that a strong network provides in both racing careers and business ventures
