At the distillery, you’ll find a stylish alternative to traditional pubs and bars without losing that intimate local feel. They offer seasonal menus full of the best local produce, a rotating cocktail list featuring their spirits, and a bounty of local beers and wines. The distillery regularly holds ticketed and free events for the public to attend and enjoy.

All of its spirits are produced using local and organic ingredients, where possible, in their technology-driven modern stills. These iStills produce spirits with up to 70% more energy efficiency than traditional methods – one part of their journey to create a distillery and spirits synonymous with adventure, sustainability and quality.
