The eagle eyed among you may, in the next few months, notice we’ve created a new, improved bottle. It is still stunning, the beautiful Art Deco inspired pattern is the same and it still shimmers in the sunlight or indeed the “spotlight”. BUT it is now way more environmentally friendly!

As you know, we have always been and will always be a premium, classy but most importantly, good spirited brand. We want to give people a beautiful sipping experience but we also want try to do some good as we build our business and be kind to both people and the environment so…

We are now using state-of-the-art technology to apply the iconic design to our bottles with
sprayed-on organic inks instead of using decals… meaning we’ve removed plastics from the process completely. We’ve also made other logistical changes that have massively reduced our use of transport and fuel… meaning a far lighter carbon footprint.

As said, the new bottle will trickle into the shops etc over the next few months.

Lots to celebrate! As always, our very best wishes – cheers and chin chin xx

Ealing Summer Festivals – comprising the very best of Jazz, Blues and Comedy – has a new headline sponsor for 2022… the award winning, locally crafted Ealing Gin.

The Ealing Summer Festival is a massively popular fixture on the West London summer social scene, attracting thousands of people and featuring some of the biggest names in comedy, jazz and blues. “We are delighted to have a local business as our headline partner, especially a brand that embodies everything we love about Ealing. We’ll be serving the beautiful gin at the bar and creating a chill-out Ealing Gin garden area for festival visitors to enjoy along with all the brilliant acts we’ve secured for this year’s stella line-up.”

Launched just a couple of years ago, Ealing Gin has already won gold medals at two prestigious international spirits awards – it is hand crafted in a traditional copper still using the finest botanicals and the distillery is just a stone’s throw from the Summer Festival venue in Walpole Park.

“Our family has been going to the festival since the 80s when the first jazz event was held.
We’ve watched it grow and grow with the addition of the Blues and the Comedy and we couldn’t be happier to now be able to sponsor it and to introduce Ealing Gin to a bigger audience!” comments Amanda Duncan (she and her husband Simon are the makers of Ealing Gin).

“Our brand is all about celebrating Ealing’s fantastic cultural heritage, vibrant social scene and strong community spirit – this sponsorship encapsulates every aspect of that, it’s a perfect fit.
The line up of bands, artists and comedy acts this year is outstanding, it’s going to be 10 days of non-stop entertainment, fun and laughter at the end of July – just what we all need!
We look forward to seeing you there – gorgeous Gin & Tonic in hand. Cheers & chin chin!”

Happy New Year.

We are extremely reluctant to do this, but following increases in the costs of some of our raw materials, bottling, gift box manufacturing and transport we have no choice but to reflect these increased costs in our product pricing.

Whilst we are going to maintain the price of the bottle-only version of our Ealing Gin at £44.50, as from later today (5th January 2022) we will be increasing the RRP of our gift-boxed Ealing Gin to £48.00 (up from £46.75).

Following another successful Christmas sales period, we continue to grow, and will spend the next year looking to make savings in our production so we do not have to raise prices again.

Once again, happy new year, and all the best from Ealing Distillery.

Gold Awards from both IWSC and The Gin Masters

Ealing Gin, the beautifully, hand-crafted, small-batch gin made by husband and wife team Simon and Amanda Duncan has won gold medal recognition in two international drinks competitions.

The judges in the highly prestigious IWSC (International Wine & Spirits Competition) awarded gold medals to just 12 of the 350 gins in the Classic London Dry category – relative newcomer Ealing Gin scooped one of those golds with a score of 95 points.

“We re-worked and refined our recipe many times before settling on the final one. We wanted something genuinely distinctive that combined both classical and more modern notes. Above all, however, we wanted deep flavours, beautifully balanced – a wonderfully smooth and pleasing drinking experience. We couldn’t be more delighted that the IWSC judges agree we’ve achieved that!” Comments, Amanda Duncan.

Judges note: Juicy citrus, floral, camomile and juniper clearly coming through on the aromas in the nose. Botanicals layering on the palate with pine and juniper at the forefront combining with citrus. Good balance and classical flavours displayed in this spirit.

The gin, launched just 18 months ago, has also won recognition in the highly esteemed Spirits Business Gin Masters 2021. The competition doubled in size from 2020 with 470 gins entered from around the world. Ealing Gin was again awarded a Gold medal in the “Ultra Premium” category.

“This is probably the most exciting week we’ve had since we launched, it hasn’t been easy this last year or so, but it is so exciting and fulfilling to get this type of recognition from the very best people in the industry. We have big ambitions for Ealing Gin and these accolades are definitely going to help us achieve them.” says Duncan.
