Botanicals
& Elements

Our gins use the bounty of our wild and rugged landscape. We combine the traditional dry gin flavours of juniper and coriander, angelica and cardamom with the richness of sloe berries found growing in the valleys. We add warmth using bilberries found flourishing low to the ground on the high moorland as they escape the harsh weather. We round this off with a honeyed sweetness from moorland heather and gorse that adorn the slopes around our distillery.

HAND SOURCED & HAND-CRAFTED

Creating a premium gin takes real commitment, time, energy, experimentation and craft. Our ultimate goal is to deliver exceptional gins that capture the essence, authenticity and spirit of the Peak District in a bottle.

ONLY THE PUREST BOTANICALS

We’ve used the best classic gin botanicals and mixed them with local fruits and flowers to create our unique twist on the classic London Dry Gin.

OUR BASE SPIRIT

For our gin base we’ve searched for the highest quality, UK-grown, grain-based alcohol for our still.

FRESH SPRING WATER

The water we use comes directly from a natural spring that leaves the hillsides just behind our distillery. This water filters through layers of ancient rock, sand and shale, it is then triple filtered for purity. As it journeys through the landscape it takes on a slight sparkle that translates to a smooth, refreshing gin, which has a distinctive finish and palate sensation.
