Luxury handcrafted, micro-batch premium gin
Welcome to Birch Gin!
WELCOME AND THANKS FOR A FABULOUS FIVE YEARS!
We're taking a break for the next few months whilst we move our distillery. It was an amazing run up to Christmas which has left us very low or out of most stock. We expect to be distilling again in March or April, please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Join our mailing list so we can notify you when the stills begin running once again!
Many thanks for supporting a small business!
Please check out our reviews on Trust Pilot.
Thank you!

About The Creator
I'm Justin Birch of Wadhurst, East Sussex and I've spent a highly enjoyable decade obsessively trying to create the perfect gin. It was worth the wait.
Birch Gin is a contemporary, forward looking gin with complex flavours, superb mouthfeel and a delicious aftertaste. It is designed to be drunk neat, on ice, with water, tonic, ginger ale, grapefruit juice, hot apple juice, simply anyway you like it! It's a gin without borders or rules. All the rules, time and effort went into the making of the gin, so the drinking should be hassle free.
Review by The Gin Den
Birch Gin arrived at The Gin Den this week in amongst the rain storms and right at the point the sun shone, so it was straight outside for a quick shot of this stunning branding.
This is a new gin found by chance on Instagram Squares, (and shows one of the many positive sides of social media in providing exposure to brands, that results in a purchase and further support).
I would encourage you to read the full journey that the creation of this gin has taken at @birchgin, it’s fascinating and in summary is as result of the passion and dedication of the creator Justin Birch, taking ten years to perfect a gin that is truly something exceptional.
It’s distilled using the one-shot method, an approach taken by only around 3% of the World’s gins, in essence with the exact method of botanicals distilled in one ‘shot’
Its botanicals include Birch Syrup, Juniper, Coriander, Rosemary, Orris Root, Lemongrass, Orange, Lime, Grapefruit, Cardamom and Ginger. Birch syrup is a costly and rare ingredient with a dark, caramel yet spicy flavour. The sap can only be tapped in March each year with 100 litres needed to create 1 litre of birch syrup.
On the nose it feels like you are taking a journey around the world, with clean subtle hints of spice, citrus and herbs.
On the palate, tasted neat that journey continues with the warming spices, followed by the sweetness of the orange, lime and grapefruit and then ginger coming through, with some woody tones and then finally the caramel from the birch sap.
It’s rare that I come across a gin for all palates but this is most definitely one of those!
