Certified organic spirits

Both our Double Gin and Vodka are 100% certified organic. Our juniper and all the botanicals are from organic crops. The wheat in our vodka comes from a local organic farmer in a direct distillery to farmer relationship.

Reuse in production

From sending our stillage to local farmers for cattle feed, to reusing spent botanicals to make chocolate, every area of our production is constantly under review, with the ultimate goal of decarbonisation.

Eco-refill station

The distillery now has an eco-refill station. Anyone can bring any empty 70cl bottle and we will refill it with their favourite Boatyard. This is designed to help reduce single use glass bottles.

Eco-pouches for trade

For bars and restaurants, we also have an alternative to glass bottles, and that is 2.8L Eco-Pouches, again reducing glass usage but also hugely reducing Carbon output in transit.

For any bottles purchased online from the distillery, these are sent out using Flexi Hex technology, rather than plastic packaging.
