Lavenham farmers market

I think we may have chosen wisely today. It has been blowing a take with us all night long and whilst the skies are bluing at the moment, the wind is still having a firm go.

We are at Lavenham farmers market in the village hall today and it has won Best Suffolk farmers market 2012! So well worth a visit!

A cool but blue sky morning. All the stands look great here today. I think we will be very tempted!

Martini any one?

English Spirit infused with bay leaves? Yes! Warm, notes of white pepper, hints of Angelica and more. Simply take from the fridge, pour into a chilled glass and add an olive or capers and sip. Lovely.

The Making of Spirit of Panther

As you may know we have the delightful Martin and team join us for some malted spirit making from his superb Black Panther brew. Check out http://pantherbrewery.co.uk/

Here's some clips of the making of it. Yes its tastes delicious and there are many more variants from around the country coming soon!

Safety Devices'

Just a quick congratulations on Safety Devices' in Newmarket of 40 years in business. Lovely of them to be celebrating with our Orange Haze to commemorate the extraordinary achievement!

Christmas Spirit Mince Pies

I love a mince pie (or many) and the quintessential Christmas Pud.

The love of the above compelled the creation of our Christmas Spirit.

We make our Christmas Spirit from our Old Salt Rum; infuse it with raisins, sultanas, peels, fresh zests, vanilla and a secret combination of zests. Leave time do its best and there she is: too attractive to avoid.

We filter the spirit from the bits. The bits I used to make our minces and pud. Have to wait for Christmas for the pud, but our early minces... well blow me down...

Imagine lovely fruit that has had months in mouth tingling rum and a short crust pastry to add richness and polarity. That to one side they are delish. Not selling them this year, but you never know for the next!

Catch up

It has been an oh so busy time for us.

In the last month we have pressed on with the first tender steps into whiskey production (email us for information).

We have also made so super apple brandy and done an awful lot of shows, so forgive the silence.

In the coming week we'll let you have a good dose of videos so show you what we have been up to!
