Nàdar Gin is the world’s first carbon neutral, climate positive gin with a carbon footprint of -1.54 kg CO2e per 700ml bottle. Five years of research have went into creating the limited edition, experimental batch gin by head distiller Kirsty Black and her PhD studentship between Abertay University and The James Hutton Institute. The unique gin is made using a spirit distilled from peas, which need no synthetic nitrogen fertiliser to grow, unlike traditional crops used for creating a base alcohol spirit. The benefits of the humble pea are many including improved soil quality resulting in better growth and more efficient crops. Botanicals used in the distillation include lemongrass and citrus leaf, which deliver a fresh, fruity flavour profile and silky finish.
