Ramsbury, the maker of extraordinary spirits lovingly crafted in the Wiltshire countryside, has secured a listing in Sainsbury’s for their multi-award-winning Ramsbury Gin (40%). Showcasing the finest British produce with minimal environmental impact, the London Dry gin is now available across 300 stores throughout the UK and also available on their website.
Ramsbury’s Gin is a London Dry Gin with a modern twist, a true expression of innovation and tradition. Marrying Ramsbury’s passion for sustainability, farming and incredible products, their decorated gin now has support from another major UK retailer following their launch into Waitrose in 2021, expanding the brand’s presence within the UK.
This complex and multifaceted London Dry Gin starts life as the smooth and characterful Ramsbury Vodka, made from the finest winter wheat grown on the vast Ramsbury Estate. Ramsbury Gin (40%) is then re-distilled with a carefully balanced mix of fourteen botanicals leading with a base of juniper and local quince, alongside cinnamon, liquorice, orris root, coriander, grapefruit, dried lemon peel, dried orange peel, angelica, cardamom, grains of paradise, bitter almond and hops. The result is a crisp, full-bodied spirit, with field coordinates proudly displayed on each bottle demonstrating where their winter wheat is cultivated.
Each bottle is an unbridled celebration of the Ramsbury Estate in the heart of the Kennet Valley, using only the finest seed sown, grown and distilled on-site. As custodians of the land, the Ramsbury team is driven by the philosophy, ‘grow everything, waste nothing’, practising environmentally conscious farming with an innovative and constantly evolving closed-loop system to minimise their environmental footprint, working in harmony with their surroundings.
Highly decorated, Ramsbury Gin has most recently taken gold at the Beverage Tasting Institute, double gold, and Consumers Choice Award in the Sip Awards 2022, silver medal and 92 points at the IWSC Awards 2023, and a silver medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2023.
Nikolas Fordham, general manager at Ramsbury Distillery, says: “We’re delighted to be launching into Sainsbury’s this Spring, bringing our Ramsbury Gin to more spirit lovers across the country. We love sharing our passion for great taste and environmentally conscious production nationwide. We’re incredibly proud of our award-winning gin and hope that shines through from our fields to your homes with the support of an incredible UK retailer!”
Kieran Ballinger-Hepsworth, senior buyer at Sainsbury’s, says: “We are looking forward to having Ramsbury Gin as a strong addition to our line-up for shoppers – a great tasting gin with strong UK heritage and a compelling single-estate story behind the development of the product.”
