The six gin miniatures come in an elegant box made from recyclable card showcasing a hand-picked collection of 5cl bottles of different gin brands, with the launch collection featuring gins from Salcombe Distilling Co, Mr White’s (from Marco Pierre White), Six O’Clock Gin, Penrhos Spirits, Hyke and Wildjac. The bottles, called ‘aluminis®’, have already won awards for design and sustainable innovation. 100% recycled aluminium is one of the most environmentally packaging formats, hence the name ‘aluminibar’.
The launch collection three classic London Dry gins and three exquisitely flavoured gins made with hand-picked botanicals.
The gins
1. Mr. White’s London Dry Gin (40% ABV): Meticulously crafted by Master Distiller, Chris Sadler, with renowned chef, Marco Pierre White, this refined gin combines heritage, craftsmanship, and elegance. This London Dry Gin is a bold, smooth, modern classic, with a contemporary twist, rooted in English tradition. It is smooth and characterful, perfect for contemporary and classic cocktails.
2. Six O’Clock London Dry Y-Gin (43% ABV): A smooth London Dry Gin crafted with juniper, elderflower, orange and winter savoury with distinctive pine notes, this is an award-winning artisanal gin and perfect, as the name implies, for the cocktail hour.
3. Penrhos Wonky Raspberry Gin (40% ABV): A bright, fruity spirit crafted from this family farm's raspberries, blending crisp juniper and delicate sweetness. Deliciously colourful, this gin helps to reduce food waste as farmers struggle to shift berries and fresh fruit. Every bottle has 100 grams of delicious-tasting but ‘wonky’ raspberries, saved from waste.
4. Hyke Saved Grape Dry Gin (40% ABV): The taste notes of Hyke’s award-winning gin come from a rich, grape spirit made from saved grapes and a special blend of botanicals offering zero waste with superb taste. This delicious gin was the first to be made with grapes grown to be eaten and is another superb example of helping towards reducing food waste.
5. Salcombe Rosé Gin (41.4% ABV): An elegant, all-natural, multi-award winning dry rosé gin with no added sugar, offering bright citrus, Provençal herbs, pink peppercorns, and strawberries. It is named after the iconic ‘Sainte Marie’ lighthouse, marking the Southern entrance to the Old Port of Marseille, from where 19th-century Salcombe Fruit Schooners loaded citrus fruits and herbs bound for England’s ports.
6. Wildjac Pink Grapefruit and Lime Gin (37.5% ABV): A vibrant and refreshing gin with zesty pink grapefruit and lime notes on the note, a burst of citrus on the palate, and smooth, spicy bitter orange and grapefruit notes on the finish. This is a sustainably distilled gin bursting with uplifting citrus notes.
Each alumini® bottle is made from 100% post-consumer recycled aluminium. The light, shatterproof, low-carbon bottles are 100% recyclable at the kerbside in household recycling, contributing to more circular raw materials economy. The ‘minibar’ outer box is sustainably designed, 100% recyclable, plastic-free, FSC certified cardboard, showing how sustainability and quality design can go hand-in-hand.
