Seedlip

Seedlip originated from founder Ben Branson's experiment in the British countryside; the project began in 2014 as an answer to “what to drink when you’re not drinking”. After the commercial launch the range expanded and the brand attracted investment (Distill Ventures/Diageo in 2016) leading to a subsequent majority stake by Diageo. Seedlip grew rapidly with presence in numerous bars, restaurants and international markets.
