A new generation of drinkers wants to enjoy alcohol without compromise and they're embracing innovative, non-alcoholic spirits like Sylva as sophisticated alternatives that allow them to savor complex flavors and maintain a mindful lifestyle.
Sylva is a new non-alcoholic distillery and maturation lab that extracts character from a selection of wood and cereals to produce small-batch, made-to-order alternatives to dark spirits. Padauk, a West African wood, and rye are prominently featured in Sylva's debut release made with methods like sonic maturation, vacuum distillation and vacuum kiln roasting.
Sylva is a new venture from the founder of Seedlip, Ben Branson, who is leading the research, experimentation and development of the project with Jack Wareing.
