Our Brighton Gin Seaside Navy Strength Gin has dropped anchor for good time gulls and buoys everywhere!

Brighton Ginis made with 100% organic grain spirit, juniper, fresh orange and lime peel, locally-grown coriander seed and milk thistle. Each bottle is filled, labelled and wax sealed by hand, the distinctive blue/green colour being that ofBrighton’s famous seafront railings.

Flavor Profile

GG: You have no factory production lines and bottles are filled by hand. How long does it take to produce a bottle of gin and how labour intensive is it? Here at Brighton Gin we run the tours ourselves! The same small team who work in the distillery all week also run the tours on Saturdays, which is just one of the things which make our tours so special! Due to this we can only do distillery tours on a small scale which means that any no-shows or last minute cancellations present a real issue for us.

Kathy: We spent a long time perfecting our recipe. It took about two years and was done around our kitchen tables, with many mistakes along the way that I’m not embarrassed to talk about as they’re such a key part of learning.

Small batch, super premium Brighton Gin has won a Silver Medal at the International Spirits Challenge Tasting Awards 2018. Seen as the most authoritative, respected and influential spirits competition in the world, the awards attract over 1500 entries from 70 countries and is considered the international standard for quality and excellence.Kathy: Our initial vast list of botanicals has been whittled down to six, every one of which has earned its place in the bottle. We’ve created a gin that is smooth enough to be sipped neat and is certified vegan too, so it can be drunk with a clear conscience. Kathy: That’s absolutely true, we do everything by hand from start to finish. The distillation itself takes a day, including hand-peeling fruit and crushing juniper and coriander. Once distilled and adjusted for ABV we rest the gin for a minimum of 24 hours before tasting and signing off. I read an interesting piece about Brighton Gin sometime ago. It was suggested that Milk Thistle (one of the novel botanicals disclosed) was included because the plant itself contains silymarin, a compound reputed to have beneficial effects on the liver. WebMD says the jury’s out, while academic articles seem to indicate there’s some potential there that is being looked at further. The compound itself isn’t soluble in water, but it is soluble in ethanol. Meaning at higher proofs, you’ll get more of it. [solubility is the factor at play when the Ouzo effect/Louche occurs in higher proof spirits, the addition of water causes certain compounds to come out of solution]. Kathy: Ellie was pretty much the first person to hear me banging on about wanting to make Brighton Gin eight years ago and it’s a delight to work with her every day. And the job title? Mainly because of the look on Ellie’s face when we discussed her being Head of Sales!
