The Art Of Distillation is a book written by the famous English physicist John French in 1651, become a source of inspiration for Ben Branson, an English visionary who decided to buy a small pot still and start distilling to capture the essences of roots and herbs from his garden: Seedlip is a range of non-alcoholic spirits obtained by scrupulously following the ancient methods found in French's book with the intention of changing the way of drinking.
All the ingredients used to aromatize these pioneering drinks come from the lush English countryside and they are partly self-produced in the Branson estate, who has two fundamental aims: continuing the ninth generations farming tradition as well as solving the dilemma of "who wants to drink, but cannot drink".
It was a search of over 2 years, in close contact with master distillers, botanists and historical experts in the field, to inspire the creation of the first non-alcoholic distillate in the world: the production process lasts almost 6 months as every botanist needs specific maceration times and distillation temperatures.
Even the name is well rooted in tradition: the seedlip, in fact, were the baskets used by Ben's family to sift the seeds of cultivated botanicals.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
