Sheringham Distillery, located along the stunning Norfolk coast, has mastered this journey, crafting gins that not only reflect the essence of their surroundings but also push the boundaries of traditional gin-making. After sampling a few of their offerings, here’s a closer look at what makes Sheringham’s gin truly exceptional.

Seaside Gin

"The West Coast in a Bottle" captures the essence of Vancouver Island with its Seaside Gin, boasting an impressive 43% ALC/VOL. This flagship spirit is a celebration of the region's natural beauty, combining the fragrant notes of wild roses, evergreen forests, and refreshing ocean air. The botanical profile is deliciously complex yet impeccably balanced, featuring classic ingredients like juniper, lavender, and citrus, alongside the unique addition of sustainably harvested winged kelp, which imparts a delicate hint of the sea. Whether sipped neat or mixed in your favorite cocktail, Seaside Gin offers an elegant and sophisticated experience that truly embodies the spirit of the West Coast.

Beacon Gin

“Beacon” Gin, formerly known as Kazuki Gin, is a remarkable 43% ALC/VOL spirit that beautifully encapsulates the essence of Vancouver Island. Inspired by two significant landmarks—the Sheringham Point Lighthouse and the cherry blossom-lined Beacon Hill Park—this gin offers a stunning blend of botanicals that reflect its origins. The brilliant floral notes of cherry blossoms provide a polished and rounded profile, complemented by the soft citrus accents of yuzu and grapefruit. The addition of local green tea leaves and flowers introduces a delicate herbaceous quality that lingers through the finish, making Beacon Gin both elegant on its own and brilliantly nuanced in cocktails. It’s a true homage to the beauty of its surroundings, delivering a sensory experience that transports you to the serene landscapes of Vancouver Island.

Raincoast Gin

An Expression of Fresh Rainfall ALC/VOL: 43% Raincoast Gin was inspired by the fresh rainfall that feeds the lush temperate rainforest and is expressed through coastal botanicals, traditional juniper, and citrus. Raincoast is a bright and balanced approachable gin, presenting subtle impressions of the west coast through notes of nettle and oakmoss. This gin is elegant on its own, in a classic martini, and brilliantly nuanced in a Sheringham cocktail.
