Brampton Brewery – Co-Lab® London Dry Gin

Brampton Brewery has been a loyal supporter of Locksley Distilling since our early days, proudly featuring our Sir Robin of Locksley gin on their back bar for as long as we can remember.

When we hosted a trade open day to introduce our trade-only London Dry and talk more about our Co-Lab Range, Chris’s eyes lit up. He quickly gathered his team to dive into a conversation about flavours. Located in Chesterfield, a town whose flag features a pomegranate tree, we naturally looked to pomegranate as our starting point for flavour inspiration.

During initial discussions, Cynthia mentioned her love of sage as a complement to pomegranate, sparking a smile from head brewer Rachel. This female led collaboration was heading in the right direction. We explored more flavours, created several samples, and ultimately agreed on a profile that includes fig and bee pollen alongside the original two botanicals.

Each of these four ingredients is distilled individually in our rotovap stills, known as our “Flavour Lab,” giving Brampton Gin its soul. They are then expertly blended with the five core botanicals distilled in our traditional still, that creates the heart of all our gins.

We had a successful launch at the brewery including a special cocktail, a Brampton Spritz created just for this gin. Now you can grab yours here or at the brewery.
