I put his palpable energy and excitement down to the situation. So when I met him again I wasn\u2019t expecting the continued buzz. But, it turns out, he\u2019s just a high energy kind of guy. And it has no doubt helped him, and business partner Bob Dedman, to create a new gin brand that\u2019s also winning awards.<\/p>\n<p>On my visit to DedBest, which is located on a farm just north of Lewes, deep in the East Sussex countryside, Dedman wasn\u2019t on site, although his presence was everywhere. Not just with his photo on the wall, but also in the bespoke joinery that provides some of the tools with which to work their magic.\u00a0The pair first met a decade ago while working in the building trade \u2013 hence the brand name \u2013 and the beginnings of a friendship that has now turned into a burgeoning business partnership.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1851\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1851\" style=\"width: 980px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1851 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/sommelieredit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Rona-the-still-at-Contractors-Gin.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"980\" height=\"653\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sommelieredit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Rona-the-still-at-Contractors-Gin.jpg 980w, https:\/\/sommelieredit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Rona-the-still-at-Contractors-Gin-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sommelieredit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Rona-the-still-at-Contractors-Gin-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1851\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rona the still at Contractor&#8217;s Gin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">Dare to dream<\/h3>\n<p>By his own admission Damian and Bob knew nothing about making gin at the beginning of Contractor&#8217;s Gin&#8217;s conception. Warned off making whisky, because it takes too long to mature, the duo latched onto gin. It was during the pandemic that the idea \u00ad\u2013 the dream \u2013 became a business reality.<\/p>\n<p>Hours were spent, happily locked away, experimenting with mini stills and botanicals to decide the flavour profile they wanted. Some of those experimental bottles remain on the shelf at home, waiting to be rediscovered. But they\u2019re far too busy to look back now. Their full throttle commitment has meant they\u2019ve had to learn quickly, and they\u2019ve had advice from some of the best in the business.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been so lucky \u2013 so many people have helped us out along the way. Giving advice, suggesting things to try and equipment to buy,\u201d says Best.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1853\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1853\" style=\"width: 980px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1853 size-full\" style=\"color: var(--wpex-text-2); font-size: 18px;\" src=\"https:\/\/sommelieredit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Damian-Best-Contractors-Gin.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"980\" height=\"653\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sommelieredit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Damian-Best-Contractors-Gin.jpg 980w, https:\/\/sommelieredit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Damian-Best-Contractors-Gin-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sommelieredit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Damian-Best-Contractors-Gin-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1853\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Damian Best, Contractor&#8217;s Gin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">Distinctive flavour<\/h3>\n<p>The ambition was to make a quality gin, able to make a decent gin and tonic, and one with a distinctive character. They decided on a blend of seven classic botanicals, but with two key ingredients that front and centre in the final recipe \u2013 hibiscus flower and lemongrass.<\/p>\n<p>Hibiscus adds a robust floral note reminiscent of cranberry or pomegranate, with a slight bitterness and jammy intensity. Working alongside it is lemongrass, bringing freshness with citrus notes and a gentle fiery spice, similar to ginger.<\/p>\n<p>These two standout flavours are perfect partners and ensure the gin works well in cocktails too. The Pond bar in Brighton has just started using Contractor\u2019s Gin in its <a href=\"https:\/\/sommelieredit.com\/2023\/03\/contractors-gin-hibiscus-sour\/\">gin sour,<\/a> a favourite on its popular cocktail menu.<\/p>\n<h3>New horizons<\/h3>\n<p>It sounds like the gin business is at an exciting turning point, or near \u2018breaking point\u2019 as Damian describes it. Having established itself, it\u2019s time for the next chapter in the Contractor&#8217;s story.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve started working on a new vodka,\u201d Damian enthuses. \u201cIt\u2019s something a bit special, and unique to this area. We\u2019re currently sourcing a supplier for a key ingredient to filter the finished vodka to a high standard. It\u2019s something different. Yeah, it should be great. Can\u2019t wait for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dedbestdistillery.com\/stockists\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Find award winning Contractor&#8217;s Gin<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1855\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1855\" style=\"width: 980px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1855 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/sommelieredit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Contractors-Gin-bottles-near-Rona-the-still.jpg\" alt=\"Contractor's Gin bottles near Rona, the still\" width=\"980\" height=\"653\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sommelieredit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Contractors-Gin-bottles-near-Rona-the-still.jpg 980w, https:\/\/sommelieredit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Contractors-Gin-bottles-near-Rona-the-still-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sommelieredit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Contractors-Gin-bottles-near-Rona-the-still-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1855\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Contractor&#8217;s Gin bottles near Rona, the still<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sommelier Edit heads down to deepest East Sussex to meet the team at DedBest, a small batch gin distillery with big ambitions The first time I met Damian Best, head&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":1846,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[135,142],"tags":[38,125,109,121,111,112,108,122,123,124,110],"class_list":["post-1405","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-drinks","category-gin","tag-blog","tag-botanicals","tag-brighton","tag-cocktails","tag-contractors-gin","tag-distiller","tag-gin","tag-gin-sour","tag-hibiscus-flower","tag-lemongrass","tag-the-pond","entry","has-media"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Craft gin grafters | Sommelier Edit<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The story behind the label.
