One Gin creates award-winning, bold, distinctive London Dry gins abundant with their signature botanical of fresh sage and copper-distilled into wonderfully smooth aromatic spirits. It is the first gin created to give back to a global humanitarian cause; every bottle helps fund life-changing, sustainable water programmes in the world’s poorest communities.

The One Gin Story

It all started with water. Richmond resident Duncan Goose was inspired to start the ethical brand, One, after being caught in Hurricane Mitch in Honduras in 1998 – a natural disaster responsible for killing 20,000 people – and understood what it meant to live without access to safe drinking water.

The experience stayed with him. Four years later, he re-mortgaged his flat, quit his job and focussed full time on launching the ethical bottled water brand, One Water. The idea was simple: To sell bottled water in the UK and give away the profits to fund life-changing sustainable programmes in the world’s poorest communities around water, sanitation and hygiene – through The One Foundation.

One Gin was launched on World Water Day in 2017, to continue this journey. The idea was simple – to combine a love of beautiful, premium craft gin with a belief in making the world a better place.

One Gin was conceived out of the realisation that there was real appetite from gin lovers for a distinctive, savoury offering. The answer came in the form of one of the most loved and multi-facetted botanicals: fresh sage. A few months later, One Gin was 1 of only 20 gins selected from 379 entries in a blind tasting to win a gold award in the prestigious International Wine & Spirits Competition (IWSC).

Fast forward three and a half years and One Gin has launched its second expression, Sage & Apple, and its new limited edition One Port Barrel Rested Gin to great success.

One Gin donates at least 10% of its profit to fund life-changing, sustainable water projects in the world’s poorest communities – a cause which feels all the more relevant in these unprecedented times, when clean water and hygiene play such a pivotal role in all of our lives. So far, The One Foundation has raised over £20 million, changing the lives of over 3.8 million people, demonstrating that you can make a difference One bottle at a time, One day at a time.

Why the butterfly?

It’s been said that the tiny flutter of a butterfly’s wing can trigger a cyclone on the other side of the world. This belief – that small acts can lead to great change – is at the heart of what One Gin does.

One Sage & Apple Gin

• An orchard fresh twist on the original, this gin is the perfect balance of juniper, fresh
  sage and crisp russet apple.
• Tapping into the current trend for flavoured gins, but without creating an overly
  sweet gin, they use the oil from the pip of the russet apple to deliver crisp apple
  freshness distilled as a London Dry.

  was their most successful launch to date and consistently rates highly wherever it is
  stocked.

One Port Barrel Rested Gin

• A smooth, distinctive ruby gin bursting with spice, warm vanilla and toasted oak.
• This new, limited edition is created by laying down One Gin’s signature premium
  sage gin to rest in reclaimed port barrels.
• It has an overall aromatic nose of baking spices, vanilla, sage, dates and pipe
  tobacco. This leads to a palate of bacclava, iced buns, pistachio ice cream,
  mincemeat, sage and baked granola, with a long, smooth finish.
• Perfect serve as a winter G&T: In the bottom of a highball glass, squeeze and drop in
  a wedge of clementine and a wedge of lemon. Fill the glass with fresh ice and add a
  large measure of One Port Barrel Rested Gin. Top up with a premium tonic water.
