AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND, 1 NOVEMBER – Award-winning Marlborough-based distillery, Elemental Distillers, has partnered with Proof & Company, one of Asia Pacific’s leading independent spirits distributors, and ecoSPIRITS™ to launch their latest premium dry gin in Australia & New Zealand — Roots Eco.
Roots Eco in a G&T
Roots Eco Dry Gin is created with two things in mind; an amazing yet affordable juniper-forward dry gin that can compete against any house pour and carry a strong sustainability message. Distilled on the estate at Elemental Distillers Ltd with 43% and from 6 core botanicals, it boasts all the hallmarks of its predecessor: herbal aromatics; fresh juniper taste; crisp citrus notes. With an easily accessible price point, Root’s Eco Dry Gin is guaranteed to be popular amongst bars or venues that want to offer sustainable drinks without sacrificing quality and flavours.
“Elemental Distillers is built around belief in delivering premium spirits with full transparency and sustainability. By being able to partner Roots Dry Gin through the ecoSPIRITS distribution technology, we’ve not only decreased our environmental impact, but allowed bars and restaurants to operate more sustainably, while retaining access to a locally made product at an affordable price.”
Crafted to represent the style and character of award-winning Roots Marlborough Dry Gin, Roots Eco will be available exclusively for bars and venues in a 4.5L ecoTOTE™. Empty pre-labelled bottles will be supplied complimentary to be refilled when the supply is running low – making it simple to establish a routine of sustainable drinking plan.
“Proof & Company and ecoSPIRITS are proud to be partnering with Elemental Distillers to bring a low waste, low carbon, low cost, high quality, locally produced house pour gin to the hospitality venues of Aotearoa. Elemental’s dedication to sustainability and quality is a perfect fit with the ecoSPIRITS closed loop packaging technology.”
Proof & Company also distributes Roots Marlborough Dry Gin which has received multiple international awards, including Double Gold at the SIP Awards 2022 and the Trophy for Best Overall Gin at the NZ Spirits Awards 2021.
