Sustainability

Creditation: We are small green business certified.

Refill Packs: When you finish your bottle, you can top it up by purchasing our refill pack. Designed to fit through your letter box, it will save you 22% and can be returned to us once used. It is a win for your pocket and the environment, helping us reduce our carbon footprint.

Rewilding Juniper: Juniper is the core ingredient for all gin. Most distilleries have to import their Juniper from either Italy or Poland, as English Juniper is very hard to find. Part of this reason is that it has lost over 50% of its natural habitat within the UK and continues to at an alarming rate. It has lost over 80% of its favoured terroir which is chalkland. Fortunately, with our location on the Wiltshire Downs it provides us the ideal terrain to successfully grow Juniper with the south facing slopes looking towards The New Forest. To date we have been planting juniperus communis saplings above the upper vineyard of Domaine Hugo.

2023.03 - the saplings have survived their first test, a Britsh winter!

With luck they will provide us our own British Juniper in the future. We will share updates with you on this exciting project.

Packaging: Our bottles are shipped using Flexi Hex, which is an innovative, sustainable, eco-friendly protective product that allows for the safe and secure shipping of bottles. It was created with the environment and sustainability in mind, their honeycomb sleeves and boxes are biodegradable, recyclable, plastic free, made from sustainably sourced materials and manufactured carbon neutral.

Refill packs are shipped in our recycled card board boxes, which you can post back to us using our Freepost labels. Just post the box or refill pouch back into your nearest post box.

We continue to evolve and improve.

The pouches of this excellent gin are the best!

I love the Explorer Gin as a product anyway, but it is just brilliant that you sell the gin in refill pouches and have the option of used refill pouches. I will keep buying this gin over and over because of its unique flavour (I don't know another like it) and because of the wonderful refill options.
