EIGHT LANDS ORGANIC VODKA AND GIN

It’s coming up for four years since Eight Lands launched its multi-award-winning vodka and gin. Having spent half that time battling with Covid restrictions along with the rest of us, the team are rightly excited about what lies ahead of them. Alongside a recent a trip to meet customers in California and plans for Japan and Hong Kong in September, the brand is ramping up in its home market with more and more bars and restaurants stocking across the UK.

Alex Christou – who co-founded the brand alongside his stepfather Alasdair Locke –established Eight Lands with the aim of creating a peerless vodka and the perfect London Dry gin. To achieve this, 16 vodka recipes and 16 gin recipes were assessed by industry professionals, bartenders and the Founders’ family and friends over the course of 12 months. Only then were the distillery plans finalised, ensuring it is truly fit-for-purpose. Today, every batch is still signed-off by Alex prior to bottling.

“I genuinely believe that we have created something special with our vodka and gin. Our commitment to high quality ingredients and processes contributes to the quality of our liquid. What this means is that we can offer a superior vodka and gin to our customers.” says Alex Christou, Co-Founder of Eight Lands. eight-lands.com @eight_lands

Made with only organic ingredients and Scottish spring water, Eight Lands vodka and gin are distilled and bottled at the family-owned Glenrinnes Distillery in Speyside. The area, renowned for its pristine Scottish spring water, is home to famous single malt distilleries such as Macallan, Balvenie and Glenfarclas, and considered to be the world’s leading region for luxury spirit production.

“We set out to make vodka and gin of undisputed quality, really thinking about what we wanted to enjoy with our friends,” continues Alex. “Today I am incredibly proud that many more people are discovering Eight Lands vodka and gin in some amazing bars or looking to us to upgrade their cocktails at home.” Eight Lands is served in the likes of Roka, Isabel, Hide, Rules, Sessions Arts Club, Harvey Nichols, and many others, and is available to buy online through all good stockists.
