Its been a busy week

Whiskey on its way...

Some of the things we have been up to this week have included making single malt for Panther Breweries up in Norfolk. One more distillation and all will be ready come late on Tuesday.

A tough year for English Wineries

Most vineyards around the country are well down on their yields this year; along with reduced sugar content, higher acidity and a sooner harvest of rape failing to distract the damn pigeons. Thankfully when there is any harvest there is always pomace to be had. We were lucky enough to grab some of Chilford Wines' and that is currently fermenting away great guns. A big thanks to Fiona and Glen. More news to follow.

A large quantity of carrots arrived

Carrot brandy anyone? Into the grinder come Monday. Hope the juice is good for the skin as our grinder is a toosh... disseminating!

Dolce Vita

Next week we ship to Italy for the first time so that'll be a new experience. Exporting the English Spirit. When your are ready Ma'. Arise Sir E.

Burghley Art and Crafts Show

A lovely part of the world and a fun show

Branding or branding?

New toy!

Fermenting molasses

Rum is lovely stuff. Our yeast blasts through its sugary bits on no time.

Raspberry infusions

It is always thought provoking to reflect upon the delight of our raspberry spirit. The spirit wicks out the magenta colour of the fruit, its elegant perfumey aromas, sweet complex fruit sugars and cleansing acidity. What's left in the fruit afterwards? Not much!

Colombian Coffee Beans are oh so good!

As any one who has tried our Columbian Coffee Bean will know, it tastes just like great coffee smells. It took a good long while to develop and it was always a visual delight to see those sable gems slicked with aromatic spirit.
