Navigating your way through the world of spirits on a plant-based journey can be a little tricky. At its core Gin should be an easy win (it’s just botanicals and booze after all?) but some bottles hide a few surprises. From animal-based fining agents used in production or unexpected additions like honey or dairy, not every gin makes the vegan cut.

Thankfully, two of our best-selling spirits are made with vegan spirit lovers in mind, 100% free of animal products with no compromise on incredible Cornish flavours.

So, What’s Actually in Gin?
Reduced down to its simplest form, gin is a neutral spirit infused with botanicals like juniper, citrus peel, and spice, beginning its life cycle completely free of animal-products. However, some distillers then use fining agents derived from animals to clarify the spirit or add colours and flavours with ingredients that contain dairy. It’s these hidden extras that can catch out even the most vigilant vegan.

Our Vegan Gins
While our Clotted Cream and Strawberry Gins (due to colourants and the cream of course) aren’t vegan, our range carries two options that tick all the non-plant-based boxes.

Wrecking Coast London Dry Gin – Crisp, classic, and packed with carefully-selected botanicals. Made to the exacting standards of London Dry Gin with no flavours or colours added post-distillation.

Navy Strength Gin – Big, bold, and packs a punch with 57% ABV. Perfect for those looking to get a dose of Vitamin C, crafted with fresh lemon peel, lime peel, and scurvy grass. All historically used to help prevent malnutrition on ships (hence the name)!
