Greensand Ridge Distillery
Greensand Ridge Distillery was launched in 2015 by Will Edge and was founded with a focus on 'ultra-low impact' spirits production. In 2019, through continuous commitment and investment in sustainability initiatives, Greensand Ridge became the first carbon-neutral distillery and continues to be an innovator and industry leader in this area. The distillery is located near Shipbourne in the Weald of Kent and has followed the launch of Greensand Ridge London Dry Gin with the launch of the Wealden Rum range, a fruity Eau-de-Vie range, brandies, and limited edition spirits. Eight of the botanicals in Greensand Ridge London Dry Gin are grown within a mile of the distillery, such as gorse, cobnuts, oak moss and hawthorn berries, and Will also works with local farmers to reduce food waste by fermenting and distilling quality produce that supermarkets won't take.

​The Gin Guide Review: ​The sustainable production of Greensand Ridge Gin is truly impressive, from recycling and using renewable energy to collaborating with local farmers and supermarkets to utilise excess crops and produce. It is an admirable ethos and approach backed up by an equally admirable and impressive gin. Savoury and herbaceous flavours are beautifully balanced with piney juniper, subtle sweetness from the honey, floral notes of gorse, spice from cassia bark, and citrus, nutty and grassy notes. It is a charming, rounded, complex and smooth gin that is a real delight and opens up vibrantly in a G&T. - Paul Jackson, 2018

Meet the Maker

"The vision from the start has been to build a different kind of distillery; one which has the lightest possible touch on the lands, but also benefits the community by preferentially fermenting and distilling surplus produce." - Will Edge, Founder of Greensand Ridge Distillery
