World's First Climate Positive Gin, Nàdar, Launches in Ontario

On March 19, 2024, Arbikie Highland Estate Distillery announced the launch of Nàdar Gin at select LCBO locations in Ontario, ahead of Earth Day. Tagged as the world's first climate-positive gin, Nàdar showcases a remarkable achievement with a carbon negative footprint of -1.54 kg CO2e per bottle. This innovation not only represents a significant step towards sustainability but also underlines the distillery's commitment to eco-friendly practices from seed to sip.

Utilizing green peas instead of the conventional wheat in gin production, Nàdar eliminates the need for nitrogen fertilizers which are harmful to the environment. This shift, endorsed by research from Abertay University and the James Hutton Institute, aims at revolutionizing the alcohol industry by embracing regenerative agriculture. Nàdar's sustainable approach is complemented by its award-winning taste, described as "silky smooth and exciting," earning it recognition at prestigious events such as the 2021 Met Gala.

Beyond its environmental benefits, Nàdar Gin has received accolades for its impact and innovation, including Excellence in Sustainability at the Scottish Whisky Awards 2023. It stands as a testament to Arbikie Distillery's pioneering ethos, making Nàdar an appealing choice for those looking to celebrate Earth Day with a spirit that benefits the planet.
