Three Wrens distillery near Nantwich launches “gin on tap”

Three Wrens near Nantwich has launched a new service allowing customers to re-fill their gin bottles directly at its distillery.

The aim is to remove additional packaging from circulation to help the environment.

Customers also get £5 off the price of their gin when the bottles are refilled.

The company has pledged its dedication to environmental causes since opening in 2019.

Three Wrens are self-sufficient for many of the key botanicals in their gins.

The bison grass for its gin is grown from seed directly on site – in keeping with the company’s ‘garden to glass’ philosophy.

All orders from the distillery are sent out in plastic-free packaging.

Three Wrens are also working with Ecologi to plant thousands of trees per year to balance out its carbon footprint.

The business achieved carbon neutral workforce status last year through the programme.

Owner and distiller Nick Wadeson said: “We’ve always been passionate about sustainability and using home-grown ingredients.

“But we wanted to go one step further and allow our customers to opt out of packaging entirely.

“Now those who enjoy Three Wrens gin can do so by coming directly to the source!

“It’s very important for us to be an environmentally conscious distillery.”

Last year, Three Wrens won several awards, including the Golden Fork award (and a 3-star accreditation) at the Guild of Fine Food Great Taste Awards.

Three Wrens’ Bison Grass gin scooped the UK’s Best Flavoured Gin award at the 2021 Great British Food Awards and a gold medal at the 2022 World Gin Awards.
