The Ealing Summer Festival is a massively popular fixture on the West London summer social scene, attracting thousands of people and featuring some of the biggest names in comedy, jazz and blues. “We are delighted to have a local business as our headline partner, especially a brand that embodies everything we love about Ealing. We’ll be serving the beautiful gin at the bar and creating a chill-out Ealing Gin garden area for festival visitors to enjoy along with all the brilliant acts we’ve secured for this year’s stella line-up.” The unequivocal “qualification” for being a London Dry Gin is all about how it is made. All the flavour in a London Dry Gin must be created via the distillation process - absolutely no additives (flavour essences, colours etc) can be added afterwards. In short, with a London Dry Gin what you distill is what you get... there’s no messing about with the flavour afterwards. For the Duncans, there’s a sense that this gin-making project has been as much for their community and neighbours in Ealing as it has been for them. Amanda says, “My husband’s family has lived here [in Ealing] for four generations and I have lived here for 30 years since I moved down from the north east and have raised my children here. It has a very strong community spirit; after the riots in 2012/2013 we decided that we should do more to get to know and support our neighbours, we should be able to wave to one another in the street. It has created a massive surge in community spirit.” The Cask Spirit Company has curated a cellar of exceptional cask-strength spirits (52-62% ABV) from a collection of renowned, award-winning distilleries, including Ealing Distillery. Having launched in late 2019, the brand was just starting to get off the ground when the coronavirus pandemic threatened to clip its wings – but Amanda says that being very new to the market was more of a help than a hindrance. “It has delayed progress rather than destroyed us out of hand,” she says. “We were not established enough to be losing a lot of business, we were still trying to build business. The on-trade was not huge for us yet. We are seeing it as a hiccough, but we have been doing really well in those six months. All the kit to serve an Ealing GinEaling Gin won a gold medal in the recent highly prestigious IWSC (International Wine & Spirits Competition) in the London Dry Gin category with a score of 95 points. Judges commented on the “Juicy citrus, floral, camomile and juniper clearly coming through on the aromas in the nose. Botanicals layering on the palate with pine and juniper at the forefront combining with citrus. Good balance and classical flavours displayed in this spirit.” The Duncan family, the makers of Ealing Gin, have lived in the West London borough for four generations. We love it for its friendliness, diversity, its rich cultural heritage, its vibrant social life and most of all its wonderful community spirit – from which we’ve benefitted greatly. Pulp is small, independent & enthusiastic. It places strong emphasis on biodynamic & organic winemaking.

The idea to make a gin that spoke of its roots came from Amanda’s family in the north east. “I am originally from Durham, and Durham Gin launched in 2014. Because a lot of my family are in the north east we got about 10 bottles of Durham Gin in the first year after it launched, because everyone that came down brought us a bottle,” she laughs. “We thought Ealing people would do that to show off a product from their town and people are telling us that that is what they are doing with our gin – taking a little bit of where they are from as gifting.” The ‘queen on London’ dry gin is inspired by Ealing’s parks and gardens Navarro Wines offer a large range of wines and friendly help to navigate towards the best choice for you. A personal service which can only be found in a successful independent shop.

Our brand is all about celebrating Ealing’s fantastic cultural heritage, vibrant social scene and strong community spirit – this sponsorship encapsulates every aspect of that, it’s a perfect fit. The spirits are ‘finished’ in oak casks from artisanal cooperages, with your choice of conditioning liquid (Sherry, Port or Madeira). The cask is then personalised with your own message and the details of the spirit inside. We got the base right then started fiddling with the top notes. In the end we went through 29 recipes and a lot of different botanicals. We had our little tasting team tasting all the way and eventually we went into production with number 22, because everybody loved that one.” How will you serve your Ealing Gin?
