We produce premium spirits in a sustainable, community-minded way, using ethically sourced ingredients. We want to inspire a reconnection with nature, working alongside and in balance with it. We’re passionate about making people’s lives better and considering the well-being of our planet.

In the Solent – the stretch of water between the Isle of Wight and mainland Britain – seagrass meadows spread across the ocean floor. These incredible plants sequester carbon at an astounding rate and shelter a wealth of wildlife, creating ecosystems beneath the waters. It’s estimated that 92% of these meadows have been lost over the last 100 years, damaged by pollution, human activity, reduced water quality, disease, and the effects of climate change. So we’re working with the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust to monitor and restore these meadows in the waters surrounding our island home.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust work to protect the wildlife and wild places outside our distillery door. We’ve partnered with the organisation as Wilder Champions, donating funds and assisting with seagrass restoration projects taking place in the Solent.

Started by a group of surfers, Surfers Against Sewage fights water pollution across the UK. They campaign and organise beach cleans, publish support on how to live a plastic-free lifestyle and raise awareness of the plastic pollution across our beautiful coastline. We are proud to be partners of SAS.

We relaunched our new, plastic-free Mermaid bottle and were accredited as Plastic-Free by A Plastic Planet.

We worked with Viscore Closures to develop a pioneering tamper-proof seal. Over 10 million units have now been supplied to various spirit brands worldwide – a win for us, Viscose and the industry!

We removed plastic packing nuts from our site, swapping to an eco-friendly version made from natural starch. 

We removed tape from our packaging, instead using metal staples.

We made the decision to use 'Who Gives a Crap' toilet paper across sites.

We were lucky enough to find a local company that collect excess cardboard to create horse bedding, they now collect excess cardboard twice weekly! Less waste, happy horses!

We won the ADI award for Best Eco-Packaging.

A closed loop cooling system was installed, meaning we use less energy.

Energy contracts were transferred over, so we now use only 100% renewable energy companies.

Four car charging points were installed on our main site and two electric vehicles replaced petrol vehicles.

We made the decision to only buy plant-based and eco-friendly cleaning products, swapping to Ecover.

We requested suppliers of Point of Sale items, such as pin badges and bar blades, removed all plastic from packaging sent to us.

We know we have a long way to go to reach our goal of becoming a net-zero, energy efficient business. By 2025, we’re aiming to:

Eliminate plastic wrap on pallets dispatched.

Reduce the amount of paper we print.

Work with our courier company to eliminate plastic mail bags & aim to offer a carbon neutral delivery service across the UK.

Relaunch an improved bottle refill scheme.

Reduce the volume of glass in our bottle by 2025.

Introduce energy efficient stills by 2025.

Purchase an electric delivery van for our local deliveries.

Relaunch our HMS range in plastic-free packaging.

We’ve supported the work of The Ocean Foundation. Their SeaGrass Grow project protects the Jobos Bay Reserve, the second-largest estuary in Puerto Rico, which is home to seagrass beds, coral reefs, mangroves, and the endangered Antillean Manatee and Hawksbill Turtle. The project also provides better drinking water for local people and much-needed income for local dive fishermen and seagrass
researchers, whose livelihoods have been devastated by recent hurricanes.

The second project we have connected with is With One Seed, a community forestry social enterprise that works to replant forests, one seed at a time. As well as creating initiatives to support environments, they also aim to educate and work towards fighting poverty and hunger.
