The balanced combination of sweetness from the peas and the herbal characteristics ensures a well-rounded flavor that lingers pleasantly, making it an unparalleled choice in the world of non-alcoholic spirits.
History
Seedlip Garden 108 emerged from a vision by Ben Branson, who, unable to find a non-alcoholic option that met his standards for flavor, set out to create his own in 2015. Inspired by a collection of family recipes and a longing for innovation within the beverage industry, Branson developed a recipe that would embrace natural ingredients, reflect the beauty of the English landscape, and transform the perception of non-alcoholic beverages.
The name ‘Garden 108’ signifies both the artisanal attention to detail in its creation and a nod to the average number of days it takes for peas to grow and be harvested in an English garden. The product quickly rose in popularity, achieving visibility across various platforms and gaining traction in the hospitality industry. As a pioneer in the category, Seedlip signifies a cultural shift towards a more mindful approach to drinking, and its products have been recognized internationally, contributing to the modern conversation around health, wellness, and responsible choices.
Fabrication Process
Seedlip Garden 108 undergoes a meticulous process involving distillation and careful blending of its botanicals. The journey begins with the selection of high-quality ingredients that include peas, hay, thyme, rosemary, spearmint, and hops. Each botanical is meticulously sourced to ensure purity and flavor integrity.
The distillation occurs in traditional copper pot stills, allowing for a gentle extraction of the essential flavors and aromas from the botanicals. This method is pivotal because it preserves the intricate notes and compounds that could be lost in harsher processes. Each botanical is distilled separately to capture its unique characteristics before being combined into a final blend.
Once the distillates are combined, they undergo a filtration process to achieve clarity and to refine flavors before being bottled. The result is a non-alcoholic spirit that not only embodies the vibrancy of its ingredients but also showcases the elegance of craft distilling, all while remaining calorie-free and sugar-free.
