Climate Positive British Spirits. Planting one tree for every bottle sold. B Corp Certified.

About us

Sapling was born out of a passion for high-quality spirits combined with love for the natural world. We exist to tackle climate change through supporting regenerative farming, refillable packaging solutions, and planting a tree for every bottle sold. Each tree is fully traceable through a GPS tracker on their website. This gives customers the opportunity to learn about the tree they have planted by purchasing the bottle. We want to turn the sustainability conversation around from an outlook of doom and gloom to one which champions solutions. We give people the chance to plant trees and help the environment by enjoying delicious, quality spirits. All produced in the UK, Sapling is four times distilled from British wheat, which leaves a fresh finish with a hint of sweetness. Drink Aware ;)

  • ✨ Introducing Sapling Regenerative Vodka ✨ The gold standard of sustainable vodka has arrived. Crafted from regenerative wheat grown in Kent, every step of our process is designed to restore the planet while delivering a truly exceptional spirit. 🍸 This is unlike any vodka you’ll have tried before. Why? To champion British regenerative farming and continue our mission of creating world class, environmentally focused spirits that work with nature and not against it. The farming methods are designed to put carbon from the atmosphere back in the ground where it belongs. These practices restore vitality to the soil, making it more fertile and nutrient rich. Through rotational grazing on a diverse herbal lay prior to sowing the wheat, we have eliminated insecticides and fungicides, and use natural manure from the chickens as fertiliser. The wheat is carbon negative - approved and verified by the UK carbon code. Join the Regenerative Revolution. Cheers to a better world, one bottle at a time. 🥂 #NewProduct #RegenerativeFarming #SustainableSpirits #RegenerativeVodka #CarbonNegative #ClimatePositive

  • We've planted over 300 000 trees! 🌳 You've probably heard by now but for every bottle sold we plant a tree 🌿 We're committed to help reforest the world and fight climate change. This is just one way that we do it whilst drinking delicious spirits at the same time 🥂 We're also committed doing this through innovative packaging solutions, making more opportunities for the communities around our tree planting projects, sustainable farming practices, educating bartenders and always looking to stay ahead of the game. Tree planting season in the U.K. has just started (it's basically all the wet and windy months) so stay tuned on our socials to see what we're up to, and you may see your very own tree being planted! 🌳 If you bought a bottle of our spirits a while ago, there is a tree tracking code on the cork and if you type this into our tree tracker you can see where your sapling is in the world: https://lnkd.in/ey36rvsQ #ClimatePositive #SustainableSpirits #TreePlanting #BritishSpirits

This innovative collaboration in which RegenFarmCo has been chosen as the exclusive partner for all the trees supplied by Sapling Spirits Levy venues, exemplifies a commitment to sustainable practices.

The integration of Sapling Spirits trees into these projects is a testament to both organisations' shared commitment to sustainable practices across all layers of the hospitality sector. Sam Rooke Among the exciting developments from this partnership is the use of the Sapling Spirits trees at the Biohub Farm, a unique collaboration between Levy and RegenFarmCo. The Biohub Farm is a circular and regenerative demonstrator farm that advances agricultural practices and ecological restoration efforts. By utilising these trees in a complex ecosystem approach the Biohub Farm aims to create a vibrant ecosystem that supports a diverse array of plant and animal life. Dr Vincent Walsh from RegenFarmCo expressed enthusiasm about the new partnership stating “We are thrilled to be collaborating with Sapling Spirits, a forward-thinking beverage company. Their commitment to sustainability perfectly aligns with our mission at RegenFarmCo.

"As a company committed to sustainability we are proud to support initiatives that contribute to a healthier planet and if we can do this through existing relationships, then all the better. This project is born out of collaborating with like-minded suppliers and partners all working towards the same goal of enhancing biodiversity across the UK."  #sustainablefarming #sustainablebeverage #sustainablespirits
