Sheringham Distillery (Craft Gin)
A Story to Discover in Every Bottle
An Innovative, Chef-Driven Approach to Spirits
As a chef, Jason has spent more than twenty years mastering the principles of creating balanced flavor profiles in food. The skills needed to find harmony in high-quality ingredients in the kitchen are the same principles that apply to distilling exquisite spirits. Every chef has the same ingredients in their pantry, but the skill lies in how they balance and best express each flavor to create a unique outcome. This is the approach Jason uses to create Sheringham spirits.
Fresh and Flavorful
With appreciation of fine culinary experiences, we select botanicals that are abundant and in season. From sustainably foraged kelp from the Pacific Ocean to cherry blossoms and yuzu peel, our ingredients are of the highest quality and play an integral role in the overall expression of each spirit.
We’re inspired by our spectacular setting. Nestled in the rugged island landscape we call home, our distillery pays tribute to our environment by selecting quality seasonal ingredients, thoughtfully crafting each spirit’s flavor profile, and championing sustainable practices. Business sustainability is crucial to help our world today and ensure that future generations can also thrive.

From this Producer
Inspired by the Vancouver Island coast, with its clean surf and appealing fragrance of wild roses, evergreen forests, and ocean air, our flagship spirit has a deliciously complex yet impeccably balanced botanical profile. Made from botanicals such as juniper, rose, lavender, citrus, coriander, cardamom, and—most notably—local, sustainably harvested winged kelp, which gives it a subtle taste of the ocean, Seaside Gin is an elegant choice on its own and a winning ingredient in your favorite cocktail.
Formerly Kazuki Gin, “Beacon” embodies a sense of place, signifying two monumental sites on Vancouver Island where Sheringham Distillery originated–the iconic Sheringham Point Lighthouse beacon located by our first distillery and the beloved springtime cherry blossom-lined Beacon Hill Park. Brilliant floral and fruitiness of the cherry blossoms deliver polished and rounded edges with soft citrus notes of yuzu and grapefruit, and local green tea leaves and flowers give a delicate herbaceous note through to the finish. Beacon Gin is elegant on its own and brilliantly nuanced in a Sheringham cocktail.
An Expression of Fresh Rainfall
Raincoast Gin was inspired by the fresh rainfall that feeds the lush temperate rainforest and is expressed through coastal botanicals, traditional juniper, and citrus. Raincoast is a bright and balanced approachable gin, presenting subtle impressions of the west coast through notes of nettle and oakmoss. This gin is elegant on its own, in a classic martini, and brilliantly nuanced in a Sheringham cocktail.
