Ben Branson, founder of Diageo non-alcoholic spirit Seedlip, has launched Sylva, a non-alcoholic distillery and maturation lab at his home in Essex.
The research, experimentation & development of Sylva is led by Branson and Jack Wareing, and sees a new approach to making premium dark spirits (<0.5% ABV), with the first experimental release available to pre-order from mid-September.
At Sylva, Branson and Wareing have developed a process to not only extract the full flavour profile of traditional barrel wood and grain varieties, but explore the use of trees from all over the world.
