Greensand Ridge is a distillery, supplier and exporter of Craft Gins and Spirits. We make sustainable spirits from the very finest ingredients sourced from the fields, orchards and woods underneath the Greensand Ridge. We’re a carbon-neutral micro-distillery on a mission to develop breathtaking spirits the slow way. We’re honest about what we do and how we do it and we aim to be a positive influence on our community. We’re called Greensand Ridge after the hills that surround the Weald, from where we source our flavours
Company Description:
Greensand Ridge aims to make world-class spirits that truly reflect the lands around in a sustainable way. Our watchwords are quality, provenance and sustainability. Quality because we use the best ingredients and equipment and slavishly work to make sure our spirits taste wonderful; provenance because our spirits use and reflect the amazing produce of the lands around us and are made in our own distillery deep in the countryside; sustainability because we tread lightly on the lands (e.g. 100% renewable power, target zero waste and chemical use) while benefitting our community by working with farmers to ferment and distil quality surplus produce.
With our core London Dry Gin we wanted to create a spirit that reflects the aromas of a walk out of the distillery, through the fields and into the woods. So expect sweet/floral and woody/nutty flavours. On the nose, aromatic citrus and pine give way to a full and complex warming sweetness on the palate. A hint of nuttiness and a bump of spice carries through to the finish, complemented by a gentle floral, aromatic quality. Above all, it is a gin of remarkable smoothness with a luxurious silken mouthfeel.
At the heart of our business are the products we make. We make Gins, Fruit Brandies and Rums, an unusual set of spirits, but ones we can make from surplus produce or byproducts, while also echoing the flavours of the lands around us.
We’re building a craft distillery with the mission to reduce food waste at the farm gate by fermenting and distilling quality produce that supermarkets won’t take.
By some estimates, 75% of food waste occurs at the farm gate and is a huge cost for farmers.
