The Spirit of Bermondsey drinks brand says it wants it’s customers to have a good tonight and good tomorrow.
This innovative drinks company is creating a range of lower alcohol spirits including it’s flagship product, TRINITY25!
Director Brad Crompton told us how the gin brand stands for the spirit of SE1
How does the Spirit of Bermondsey embody the spirit of Bermondsey, the area?
Bermondsey was the epicentre of 19th-century gin production and the warehouses along Shad Thames stored some of the new spices being introduced to Britain from around the world.
We have adopted some of those spices (cardamom, coriander and black pepper) and used them as botanicals in our Session Spirit made with London Dry Gin.
Every sip of Trinity25 embodies a rich history combined with a modern way of life.
What is your favourite thing about your job and what you make?
My favourite thing is that we’ve really managed to provide people with the best of both worlds and unlocked a realm of possibility for people who want to enjoy a perfectly crafted taste with flexibility and freedom.
Trinity25 is a lower ABV gin, with more people enjoying a lifestyle with less alcohol, why is this product important to make?
Times are changing, and most of the UK wants to moderate their alcohol intake. However, their options with spirits are limited. They either enjoy less of what they love or alternate with lesser-tasting alcohol-free drinks. We give them the freedom to moderate with consistency.
As it’s the season of tipples, what do you think is the best Christmas-themed gin drink to enjoy?
A spiced negroni goes down a treat around Christmas. It’s warm, it’s short and the spice adds a nice edge.
If you want a classier drink, try a French 25 (it’s our take on a French 75).
And finally, where in Bermondsey would you ideally consume this drink?
Anywhere that suits! A local bar such as the bar in Hakata, among the old warehouses overlooking the Thames, or cosied away in your living room if you’re lucky enough to call the area your home.
