Avallen
Avallen is a floral, fruity, and proudly apple forward Calvados, a cider brandy.
Allthe apples come from within 20km of the distillery and are washed, chopped, juiced, fermented, distilled, aged, and bottled on site. Every bottle made removes 2.73kg of CO2e from our atmosphere (without external offsetting).
Avallen is made from 40 different varieties of apple and their traditional orchards support a wide range of flora and fauna.

London Essence
London Essence pioneered the ’world first’ dispense system, Freshly Infused, giving premium tonic on tap.
It works by using patented micro-dosing technology. which infuses freshly distilled botanicals into carbonated chilled tonic water at the point of serve, reducing packaging by 96%.
The system saves on fridge space (with associated savings on energy use) and allows vendors to reduce our glass bin collections by nearly six a week.

EcoSPIRITS
ecoSPIRITS is an innovative closed-loop distribution system that nearly eliminates packaging waste in the premium spirits supply chain.
The ecoTOTE reusable vessel sits at the heart of the ecoSPIRITS system. Bars fill their own bottles from ecoTOTES. When they’re empty, ecoTOTES are sent back to be cleaned, sanitised, refilled then distributed again in the local market. With each bottle eliminated, ecoSPIRITS saves at least 550 grams of CO2.

The Lost Explorer
The Lost Explorer is a handcrafted mezcal made from agave. Their sustainability initiatives include rainwater conservation, the use of reclaimed wood, replanting at least three agaves for every agave distilled and using solar panels.
Through their in-house research space, the “Lost Laboratory, they are germinating seeds of genetically diverse agave on distillery land. In addition to repurposing agave waste into fertilizer for the land, they use agave waste to make copitas.
They support three Mexican organisations with projects that will have an immediate impact in Oaxacan communities this year.

Boatyard
Boatyard Distillery is based in Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. It’s a grain to glass distillery, making at least half of the base alcohol it uses in its gins. All of the botanicals used are organic to ensure quality and constituency.
A certified B Corp, they have eliminated single-use glass bottles in the distillery visitor centre and created a bottle refill programme allowing customers to take their own bottle back to the distillery for refilling with a newly designed eco refill station.
More recently they have launched a refill pouch for use in bars and restaurants which uses 84% less packaging than a conventional bottle.
