Grown Spirits latest creation Ocean Grown Gin will direct a share of its profits towards the restoration and rejuvenation of coral reefs along Australia's North Queensland coastline, in partnership with the Reef Restoration Foundation.

Grown Spirits co-founder Will Miles said the brand had always been conscious of unnecessary waste.

“When we started Grown Spirits nearly a decade ago, we were very conscious of unnecessary waste and designed the bottle to have a life beyond just single use - our wider than usual neck is an encouragement to repurpose the bottle as a vase.

“In 2021, we took a step further by creating Sydney’s first Gin Refill Station as a way to help with bottle waste, and now this latest release attempts to be even more active in combating our ever-changing environment,” said Miles.

The Ocean Grown Gin is described as salty on the nose, with notes of olive and savoury herbs with a refreshing flavour profile with citrus and spice.

“This is a coastal gin that provokes memories of holidays by the sea, while serving as a reminder to protect the ocean and the powerful, but delicate garden that grows beneath its surface,” said Miles.

Ocean Grown Gin is available for purchase online.
