Papillion Dartmoor Distillery Moretonhampstead Newton Abbot tq138nu South West

We named our gin Papillon because we donate 1% from every bottle to a local Butterfly Conservation project, and volunteer with them surveying/monitoring fritillaries in our local area on Dartmoor.

One of the species Butterfly Conservation concentrates on is the Pearl Bordered Fritillary that feeds on violets, which is a botanical distilled in our gin. We use the Devon Violet, grown locally especially for us, and sourced from a specialist Devon Violet Nursery in East Devon.

As well as conservation, the environment is very important to Papillon. Our distillery is powered through a 100% renewable energy supplier, only compostable cups are used at events and Papillon's gift packaging is made with cardboard, not plastic. We try to keep our business and products as environmentally sensitive as possible.

You can also purchase Papillon Gin through Fresh-range, an online retailer who only sources from environmentally sustainable producers.
