58 Distillery

58 Gin Distillery, located under Haggerston's railway arches in East London, aims to simplify gin-making. An Australian sea captain and diver founded it, spending a year experimenting to make superb spirits. It shows that passionate gin creation doesn't need a bartender or expert distiller.

Sustainability and community are vital to 58 Gin. They gather sloes for their English Berry Gin and use surplus apples for their Apple and Hibiscus Gin. They even give their used botanicals to a local church garden. During the COVID-19 crisis, they made hand sanitiser for the NHS, key workers, care homes, and hospices.

58 Gin has won awards for its quality and eco-friendly approach. This includes two from the International Wine & Spirits Competition in 2016 and 2017. Ian Buxton featured them in "101 Gins to Try Before You Die," and Difford's Guide gave them a 5/5!

Their leading gin is known for its smooth blend of citrus, bergamot, and floral tones. Founder Mark Marmont and Distiller Ben Wheatman ensure the gin is delicious and eco-friendly. Their passion and responsible methods make 58 Gin Distillery stand out in craft distillation.
