58 Gin - English Berry (5cl) | The Gin Box Shop

58 Gin - English Berry ( 43% ABV | 5cl )

When a distillery's ethical-ethos aligns with ours and the quality of the gin is high, we try to get the gin in as soon as we can. This one has been on the list since the beginning of 2020 and we're pleased to finally announce its arrival.

A very clean and smooth gin, we like this one. Citrus on the nose and undertones of vanilla as well as some floral notes from grapefruit and pepperiness of cubeb.

And even closer to our hearts, The Haggerston based distillery sources as many of their ingredients from Loddington Farm in Kent, a stone's throw away from where Alastair grew up.

"Our mission is to be the category leader in sustainable craft spirits, working closely with Loddington Farm in Kent to source ingredients, offset carbon footprint by planting Juniper bushes and use our waste botanicals for compost. This full green circle is a process we like to call ethical distilling.

So all our spirits are made with the same ethos, from the wonky Apples not fit for supermarkets in our Apple & Hibiscus Pink Gin to the seasonal foraged Sloe’s in our English Berry Gin. All our packaging is eco-friendly, from the recycled glass in our bottles to the reduced plastic and carbon footprint in our on-trade refill pouches." 58 Gin Distillery.
