East London Liquor Co

A distillery in East London that has revived the city's spirits traditions right in its own postcode. East London Liquor Co was founded by Alex Wolpert with a clear mission: to bring distilling back to a neighbourhood where the craft had disappeared for decades. Today the team distills gin, vodka, rum and whisky under one roof in a historic building at Bow Wharf, and visitors can follow the whole process from grain to bottle.

  • Bottle of East London Liquor Co. Kew Collab Edition Gin
    Item no.: 2222785555-888884east

    In the famous botanic gardens at Kew, plants from every corner of the world grow side by side - and some of them have now ended up in a spirit. East London Liquor Company was invited to harvest Douglas fir and lavender straight from the gardens and distil a gin that tastes of the place itself.

    Expert's description

    East London Liquor Co. & Kew Collab Edition is an English Botanical Gin distilled in partnership with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and bottled at 40%.

    The collaboration began when Kew appointed East London Liquor Company to create the first spirit in a new range, with proceeds supporting the Gardens' work protecting plant species and pollinators worldwide.

    The two key botanicals, Douglas fir and lavender, are hand-harvested by Kew's own head botanist and combined with juniper, coriander, fennel, liquorice, angelica root and sweet orange.

    The result is a fresh, resinous gin that pays tribute to the pollinators and plants without which there would be no botanicals to distil at all.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    The nose is resinous and woody from the Douglas fir, spiced with lavender and a light sweetness from orange peel.

    Palate

    The palate is fresh and spiced with clear pine and fir character, backed by juniper and a gentle liquorice sweetness.

    Finish

    The finish is long and aromatic, with lavender and a hint of citrus fading softly out.

About East London Liquor Co

East London Liquor Co is an English distillery from East London producing gin, vodka and whisky with a focus on local craft production right in the city. For newcomers, it's an accessible way into British craft spirits, since the brand cövers several categories under one roof; for connoisseurs, the interesting part is that a distillery in the middle of London manages to keep the whole process — from fermentation to bottling — local, which is rare in a city where most spirits brands simply bottle bought-in distillate.

History & Background

The distillery was founded by Alex Wolpert with a clear purpose: to revive the distilling tradition that once defined the East End but had disappeared over generations. Working from a historic building at Bow Wharf, the team built a distillery able to house several spirit categories under one roof — an unusual model in London at the time. Since launch, the distillery has grown from a local curiosity into one of the most recognised names in Britain's craft distilling wave, drawing visitors who come to see the whole process from grain to glass.

Production & Style

East London Liquor Co distils several spirit types at the same address, from gin with London botanicals to its own whisky and vodka production.

Signature Style

The taste varies considerably by product type, but a modern, urban craft identity is common.
