SUSTAINABILITY

Scilly Spirit Distillery is committed to environmentally friendly production, taking care of our beautiful archipelago.

Our spirits are distilled using a closed cooling system and we are looking to install solar panels so our spirit distillations have minimal environmental impact. Our botanicals, once spent, are composted or are given to the local pigs.

As our bottles are so beautiful, we are sure that very few will be recycled with glass collections, but turned into lighthouses perhaps? In 2019, we won The Drinks Business Award for Design and Packaging in the Spirits Category and in 2020 we won Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Design Competition which speaks volumes about how lovely our bottle is!

All our local deliveries are made in our battery powered van, so we reduce further CO2 emissions. We have designed cardboard packaging for posting our gin, so we avoid using plastic.

We want to take care of these precious Islands we live on.

Whilst we are not certified organic, our footprint is light.
