Award-winning Ramsbury successfully secures listing in Canada

17 October 2023 By Melita Kiely

Gin lovers in Canada can finally get their hands on quintessentially English Ramsbury Gin after the producer secured a partnership with the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) in Canada.

It’s no easy feat securing a listing with the LCBO – particularly when competing within the highly saturated gin category. This success from Ramsbury demonstrates the brand’s commitment to crafting a gin that combines both traditional distillation methods and creative, modern flair.

Furthermore, Ramsbury’s Gin and Vodka will be heading to British Columbia and Alberta from October this year, as the brand pursues its international expansion plans.

Kristofer Purawec, CEO and Canadian distributor of Woodland Brands, said: “We are excited to introduce Ramsbury Gin and Vodka to Canadian gin and vodka enthusiasts. The combination of Ramsbury’s rich UK heritage and its exceptional quality make it a valuable addition to our roster.”

The spirits are carefully crafted in the beautiful English village of Ramsbury. The farm stretches across 19,600 acres of Northeast Wiltshire, West Berkshire and North Hampshire, which grows all the wheat used to make the distillery’s award-winning gin and vodka.

A 43-plate copper column still means each bottle of Ramsbury Gin is smooth, fruity and leaning towards the sweeter end of a traditional London Dry style.

Ramsbury’s move into the Canadian market follows a spell of new product development from the team, including recent launches such as the limited edition Raspberry and Wildflower Honey Gin. Made using natural raspberry juice and wildflower honey – all sourced from the Ramsbury Estate – the gin is recommended served in a classic gin and tonic, or a Ramsbury signature serve (keep scrolling for recommendations).

Max Tornquist, export manager, Ramsbury Single Estate Spirits, noted: “Expanding our presence to Canada and partnering with LCBO is a significant achievement for us. We’re thrilled to share our hand-crafted Ramsbury Gin with a new audience across the pond, taking them on a journey through our produce.”
