Seaside Gin

Seaside Gin Ocean-Inspired Botanical Complexity, Flavor Profiles and Tasting Notes

Sheringham Distillery offers Seaside Gin as our flagship spirit with a complex yet balanced botanical profile. The most distinctive feature comes from sustainably harvested winged kelp, which adds a subtle oceanic character without overwhelming the traditional gin profile. This unique botanical creates a smooth, elegant finish that sets Seaside Gin apart from conventional offerings. The kelp provides mineral depth while maintaining the gin’s approachable character for both neat sipping and cocktail mixing. This premium gin captures the essence of Vancouver Island’s coast through carefully selected botanicals. The spirit delivers juniper-forward notes balanced with floral rose and lavender, bright citrus elements, and warm spices from coriander and cardamom.

Signature Cocktail Recipes for Seaside Gin

Seaside Gin shines in classic and contemporary cocktails, from simple gin and tonics to complex craft creations. The botanical profile works exceptionally well in martinis, where the oceanic notes complement dry vermouth. Popular recipes include the Sea-Dream Martini with seaweed-soaked vermouth and the refreshing Seaside Spritz for casual occasions. Visit our Cocktail Recipe page for inspiration.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Seaside Gin’s oceanic character pairs beautifully with coastal cuisine and fresh seafood preparations. The botanical complexity complements both delicate and robust flavors, making it versatile for various dining occasions. The gin enhances oysters, fresh fish, and light appetizers while also working with richer dishes that benefit from its mineral depth.

Vancouver Island Production and Sustainable Sourcing

Sheringham Distillery applies a chef’s approach to gin production, emphasizing ingredient quality and sustainable partnerships across Vancouver Island. The distillery sources winged kelp through Dakini Tidal Wilds, operated by marine biologist Amanda Swiminer in Shirley, BC, ensuring responsible harvesting practices. Local lavender comes from Vancouver Island, while other botanicals reflect the island’s unique terroir.
