Alvearium Gin Crowned Winner of International Sustainability Award!
We are proud to share that Alvearium Gin has been awarded the International Sustainability Award 2025 by the prestigious Luxury Lifestyle Awards.
This award is a powerful affirmation of everything we stand for. From the very beginning, we set out to create more than just a premium spirit—we wanted to craft a gin that honours tradition, uplifts communities, and protects the environment.
Made from 100% pure honey and triple-distilled from mead, Alvearium is a spirit rooted in sustainability. This recognition celebrates our regenerative ingredient sourcing, eco-conscious production methods, and our commitment to forest preservation and beekeeping livelihoods. Every bottle helps protect precious ecosystems and supports a circular, inclusive model of production.
To be recognised on a global stage for our values is a true honour. We are thrilled to represent Zambia in this way and to share our story—and our gin—with the world.
Alvearium Gin, Sustainably Crafted for Indulgence
Alvearium Gin is made from pure honey and designed for indulgence. Triple distilled it has a luxuriously smooth, velvety texture that is directly derived from honey.
Perfectly balanced by a botanical profile featuring hints of aromatic spices and citrus, Alvearium Gin offers a clean, refreshing finish and a delicate, lingering warmth.
Turning every occasion into celebration when served deliciously cold. Embodying a beehive, Alvearium Gin is the most holistically sustainable gin in the world.
Our Meadery and Distillery
Our distillery is built on a foundation of sustainability, utilizing solar energy, hydroelectric power and gas for heating to ensure efficiency and reliability, even during load-shedding. Advanced water management practices, including a closed-loop cooling system and grey water recycling, further conserve resources. We minimize waste by composting botanical by-products and recycling materials like glass, all while maintaining eco-friendly production processes that reduce our carbon footprint and support a sustainable future.
Community Collaboration in Zambia
Zambian Meadery’s commitment to sustainability and community development is strengthened by our support of the responsible sourcing of wild honey from the Miombo woodlands. While empowering local beekeepers with economic opportunities, our efforts promote biodiversity and ecological balance, ensuring a positive, lasting impact for future generations.
Tracking Our Impact
Distilling Alvearium spirit from mead means it is made from sustainably sourced honey, actively contributing to the environment and the community through supporting responsible beekeeping.
