Natural Distilling Co is in ‘high spirits’ as the brand rolls out offerings of Gin and Vodka distilled from one of the most versatile materials known to man – hemp.

Hemp is said to possess many health benefits, so be sure to scroll down and see if switching to Natural’s alternatives could give your drinking game a leg-up.
Natural Distilling Co’s Hemp Gin is made using limonene, one of the leading organic compounds found in cannabis plants. The limonene adds an ultra-rich profile to the spirit, mingling alongside notes of juniper, mandarin and lime, and finishing with soft spice. Limonene is also found in citrus peel and is said to have anti-inflammatory properties which can be used to relieve stress and naturally decrease anxiety and depression.
Natural Distilling Co’s Hemp Vodka focuses on myrcene, which is a powerful organic compound representing up to 50% of Cannabis’ terpene profile. Myrcene Hemp Vodka presents crisp notes of lavender and lemongrass, with a soft mid-palate finish. In clinical trials, Myrcene has shown properties that can aid sleep and reduce pain and inflammation.
