Description

The Brighton Gin has been certified Vegan by the Vegan Society, probable the only vegan-registered gin in the UK. This includes the glue to fix the labels and the (locallly-sourced!) bottle sealing wax in our signature Brighton Gin green. 

  • Brighton Gin support sustainable agriculture by using only 100% organic pure wheat spirit, locally-grown coriander seed (the first UK commercially grown coriander seed in over 200 years) and milk thistle, which is indigenous to the South Downs region.
  • Spirit production is heavily reliant on the water use but the distillery has a special water-cooling system in place which recycle the water needed to produce Brighton Gin
  • The bottles are made at one of the last remaining English Glass manufacturers and is garanteed to be at least 40% recycled glass, some of which is collected from the Brighton area.
  • In August 2017, Brighton Gin launched a pledge among their distributors and consumers to say " no to plastic straws"
  • Last but not least, whenever possible, the Brighton Gin is delivered through the "gin bicycles" reducing some of the company carbon footprint.
