About this deal
Feragaia never touches alcohol meaning it retains all the natural flavours and qualities of its ingredients. We minimise the use of high emission vehicles in favour of cleaner, environmental and delivery. Our impact is low currently, but as we grow, clean logistics will be a key area for us live up to our commitment. We have invested in seaweed lines that grow our botanicals and also educates people and helps them to take steps to help reverse climate change. Another such orgnaisation is Seawilding.
I, on the other hand, was fixed on ‘where is the confidence in alcohol-free’ and felt strongly that it was because almost all alcohol-free drinks rely on what they are not – alcohol! Typically, they contain or mimic alcohol, which is why Feragaia is a ‘Free Spirit’ distilled to be different in Scotland and is not trying to be anything but itself. Its name means ‘wild earth’, with Fera in Latin meaning ‘wild’ and ‘Gaia’ in Greek mythology translating to ‘earth’. Strives to be champions of the local economy. We are committed to hiring locally and working with local suppliers and services to support the local community. Meaning wild earth, the new alcohol-free spirit, which has an amber hue, is distilled, blended and bottled in the Scottish Lowlands.
Tasting notes
This set our course to raise some funding, develop the liquid and the brand and Feragaia’s launch in late 2019.
These natural flavours are captured through multiple distillation runs, blended by hand and cut with pure Scottish water. Tasting notes Victoria Cranstoun Our mission is all about reconnecting drinkers to Wild Earth (Feragaia’s translation) within themselves and each other. Feragaia is a radically authentic alcohol-free spirit that redefines what you think you know about alcohol-free. Our social and environmental policy is a huge factor in our decision-making process and is seen as integral to the long-term viability of our business. As part of our commitment, and as a purpose-driven organisation we strive to help restore and protect Wild Earth and bring a net positive impact to the world. I got to the point in 2018 that I was prepared to do something about it – that’s when I spoke to Bill and Feragaia; the Original Free Spirit was born.Bold by nature, Feragaia is an alcohol-free spirit made from land and sea botanicals. True to its name, meaning ‘Wild Earth’, it is a product of windswept coastlines, open country and creative minds. Reducing carbon emissions. Ambition is to become carbon negative as we grow our business. Currently, carbon is a key factor in our strategy going forward and the partnerships we start. We include a guide to reducing carbon in our employee handbook. Our bottles are sitting prominently in a five-star display, rubbing shoulders with other leading drinks brands.
