A warm welcome to East Coast Distillery.
Here at East Coast Distillery we are proud to be able to celebrate the beauty and the character of the North Essex Coast.

Tide’s Fortune is crisp with classic
juniper flavours, perfect for any gin lover.
A fragrant juniper nose, citrus piquancy moving into a warming anise flavour and a long, lingering smokiness on the palate.
Our botanicals
Common Juniper
The one essential ingredient of all gin. Without them, a spirit just isn’t gin. It is the juniper berries that gives you the slightly green and lightly pine nose and flavour.
Sea Purslane
This carpets much of the coastline especially the muddy coastal inlets around North Essex. Its plump silver leaves carpet the area around the distillery. Nicholas Culpeper, the famous 17th century botanist highlighted the interesting properties of sea purslane as having the ability to cool the outrageous Lust of the Body, Venerious Dreams and the like. Whilst we can’t confirm this it does add a lovely minerally layer to the gin, and compliments the heat of some of the more traditional botanicals that you would expect to find in a London Dry Gin.
Sea Buckthorn
This grows along much of the East coast, but beware if you try to pick it. Its barbed wire like branches protect the wonderfully orange juicy berries. The ancient Greeks used the pulp to apply to sunburn but we use it to provide the next wave of flavour – a citrusy sweet undertone.
Some nice things people have said about our gin.
“I can honestly say it is up there with the best.”
“We have to say this is by far our favourite, there is no what I would call ‘rawness’ about it, it has a lovely fresh light flavour even drinking it neat, we’re hooked.”
“I have had the pleasure of sampling your lovely gin today on launch day! I had no doubt it would taste as good as it did and would love to recommend to all gin lovers far & wide. What a jewel in the East Essex Coasts Crown – well done…”
“What a wonderful surprise. Such beautiful flavour. This goes on “The list” P.S. The handwritten note that came with the gin was an extra special touch.
“What amazing service! I emailed last night with an enquiry to which I received a reply first thing this morning, I placed my order and it was hand delivered the same day! Beautifully wrapped together with a hand written note, what a lovely personal touch. If you are looking for a present for a gin lover I would highly recommend – I will definitely order again…”
