When summer arrives, Toronto is in full bloom — and we want our drinks to be, too. Ramsbury London dry gin, which just touched down in the LCBO, is bursting with 14 fresh botanicals and tastes just as vibrant as the season. Produced in the U.K. on a single estate in the heart of the rolling North Wessex Downs, it’s an affordable spirit that’s big on flavour. It's a nod to the London variety with a modern twist, and has firmly cemented itself on our bar cart.
There’s nothing quite like a classic french 75 or gin fizz poolside when the sun is high in the sky, and the temps are soaring into the high 20s. Choose Ramsbury gin to add to your favourite tipples for a welcome layer of complexity. It has a palate of grapefruit and citrus peel, fresh quince and floral flavours, plus enough woody angelica, bitter almond and spicy cinnamon to write home about.
Ramsbury gin isn’t just delicious — it’s produced with a passion for sustainability. Ramsbury grows and distills their wheat, a process which results in a higher quality final product than competitors who get their base from an industrial supplier. That all ends up equaling a superior taste for you when it hits your lips.
The U.K.-based distillery’s penchant for sustainable practices doesn’t stop there. Well before the harvest begins, Ramsbury’s cattle roam their fields and naturally fertilize the earth. All grains from the distillation process are fed to the animals to stay as close to a closed-loop system as possible. They use a biomass boiler fed by their surrounding woodlands, which in turn produces ashes that are also used to fertilize the fields. They filter the water they use in the gin-making process through a series of reef beds.
Ramsbury gin isn’t the fastest gin to produce, but you’ll reap the benefits with each glass. If you’re looking to spice up your summer cocktails, or discover an affordable spirit that punches well above its weight, find Ramsbury London dry gin at the LCBO today.
