The Lea Valley Gin Distillery is in the Lea Valley. It makes handcrafted gins in small batches. Each bottle shows its dedication and quality.
The distillery started in 2020. The founders moved to the lower Lea Valley in 2019. They faced challenges during the pandemic. They found inspiration in the valley's history and activities. They learned to distil. Their goal was to make a gin that stood out. The project became a pursuit of excellence. They use the single-shot distillation method.
Nine months after starting, they made their first high-standard bottles. They named it 'The Lea Valley Gin Distillery'. This honours the valley's beauty, Victorian heritage, and modern culture.
The distillery focuses on its botanical recipe. This includes juniper, angelica root, and coriander. They steep these in grain spirit for up to 48 hours before distillation. This extracts full flavours.
Sustainability is key for them. They use recyclable bottles and labels. They compost post-distillation botanicals. They are working to make packaging eco-friendly.
Today, the Lea Valley Gin Distillery is known for its love for gin. Their products include Lemongrass and Lavender Gin and “Navvy” Strength Gin. The latter is inspired by historical engineers. They promise innovation and quality. They also want to honour the Lea Valley's legacy and beauty.
