One-of-a-kind spirits to raise yours
Ethically made with natural materials
Old soul.
New spirit.
Raw materials
We've embraced nature's wisdom, delving into diverse grape varieties and yeast strains to unlock exceptional flavours during fermentation and distillation. Unlike many, we refuse to compromise on quality by using inferior raw materials like potatoes or grape skins, which require multiple rounds of copper distillation and contribute to contamination and waste.
Proved process
Our meticulous approach utilizes superior ingredients and custom fermentation techniques to anticipate and replicate complex flavour profiles. With continuous cold distillation under vacuum (~25°C), we preserve the true essence of our spirits while minimizing energy consumption and waste, setting new standards for sustainability in the industry.
Rich history
Challenger. Disruptor. Outlaw. Misfit. Words for rogues with an inability to follow the rules and a desire to change the game. Born to rebel, Drylaw pays homage to Giuseppe Bertolino, the Sicilian immigrant – and our founder’s great grandfather – who found opportunity where others saw only failure: Prohibition-era USA.

Our products
In the time of our forefathers, bootleggers couldn’t be choosers – any old base alcohol would do. This is no longer the case. We’re rewriting the rules of the game, using select yeasts to enhance grape fermentation. Embracing a low-temperature distillation process. Crafting authentic representations of our premium organic ingredients every time.

Our Process
Trust us when we tell you the soul of DRYLAW weighs precisely 2.56kg. We know because that’s the amount of premium, aromatic grape must we refine for every bottle. Cold distilled to capture the flavours of every molecule, every grape, every vintage. Calling on the pioneering spirt of our predecessors. Perfecting nature’s chemistry.
1. Fermentation
We analyse the natural flavour profiles of our premium organic grapes and add select strains of yeast to enhance the fermentation process. No pesticides or polluting elements means we don’t need to take anything out. As volatile and non-volatile aromas are awakened through fermentation, we capture the concentrated essence in every bottle.

2. Distillation plant
We developed our hyper-efficient plant and distillation processes with the 12 Principles of Green Engineering in mind. So, by default we use a fraction of the energy and produce a fraction of the waste of traditional processes. Single distillation means we only get one shot at producing drinks worthy of the Drylaw name. Everything captured. Nothing lost.
Embracing single distillation, for all-or-nothing spirits.

3. Distillation process
Low-temperature distillation (below 30°C) under vacuum means we protect and cultivate the complex ephemeral grape aromas unlocked during fermentation. Every batch is an authentic representation of our premium organic raw materials, and nothing else. Every drop a perfect misfit – secured in glass, but never diminished.
Authentic misfits, delivering excellence down to the last drop.

4. Botanical extraction
Using cold distillation and delicate ultrasounds, we gently extract botanicals for our gin with the same level of care and precision as the spirits themselves. Handcrafted to maintain the aromatic complexity of root, flower, leaf and bark. Then, engaged in an ever-evolving conversation with our premium organic wine base.
Our gin is laced with botanicals and late-night anecdotes.

5. Maturation and toasting
Toasting and infusion of specialty woods rounds out the broad aromatic complexity of our brandy. Our base wine distillate welcomes whiffs of smoky vanilla, almond, coconut, clove and tobacco from acacia, oak and cherry wood. But the grapes are never outshone. Flavours are amalgamated in French oak over 12 months, ready to be stirred anytime you like.
Highly evolved brandy: wooded, ageing, still breathing.

6. Bottling
Drylaw bottles are inherently unique and have a distinct charm. Crafted from over 90% recycled glass, they're never quite perfect. Lucky for us, beauty is subjective. Our commitment to sustainability means a 40% reduction in our carbon footprint compared to traditional bottles. And they’re 100x more likely to find a second life as a decoration or vase.
Perfectly imperfect bottles, made from 90%+ recycled glass.
