Lone Pine Earl Grey Gin

Lone Pine Distilling gives you a unique local take on craft distilling, featuring one-of-a-kind recipes alongside traditional flavours.

They’re what keep us grounded and allow us to keep growing. Our roots connect us to family, friends and neighbours… to our histories and our communities.

Lone Pine Distilling has its roots in western Canada, between the Rocky Mountain peaks and sweeping golden prairies of Alberta. The distillery is located in the heart of Edmonton, on the south side of the North Saskatchewan river, tucked away between Calgary Trail and Gateway Boulevard.

Lone Pine Distilling was founded by two close friends, inspired by years of sipping spirits and sharing conversations around the campfire at the cabin, where a lone pine stands watch over the site.

When Alberta’s post-Prohibition legislation was finally updated at the end of 2013 to allow for the existence of micro-distilleries– the dream of operating an independent local distillery became impossible to resist.

We aim to honour and celebrate our Alberta roots by using regionally sourced ingredients, products and services, including the contributions of skilled local producers and craftspeople in our community.

Earl Grey Gin is a highly refined offshoot of our original Gateway Dry Gin, vapour-infused with black tea and wild bergamot for the rich, full-bodied flavour of Earl Grey.

Earl Grey tea leaves and wild-crafted bergamot mingle to offer an aroma that’s at once recognizable and unique. Grains of paradise and a dash of cinnamon add a cozy, warm sensation, further harmonizing the gin and tea.

The vapour infusion process we use keeps ingredients separate during distillation, for the most authentic incorporation and perfection of flavour. 

The colour on our Earl Grey Gin label was inspired by the flower of Alberta’s wild bergamot, otherwise known as Bee Balm, which lends a local twist to this royal refreshment.
