Distillery

Four casks at a time

Caskwright sits on the edge of the moor, in a stone shed that used to hold tractors. We fill four casks at a time and bottle them one by one.

The mash

Barley from the next valley

Floor malted, milled coarse, and mashed in an open tun so you can smell the wash from the road. Nothing is rushed to hit a delivery date.

The still

One copper pot, run slow

A slow run keeps the heavier oils in the spirit, which is what gives it weight later. We cut early and lose some volume for it.

Time is the only ingredient we cannot buy

The wood

Ex-bourbon, then a year in oloroso

The first fill gives vanilla and coconut, the second gives dried fruit and a darker colour. We taste every cask before we decide it is finished.

Bottling

Cask strength, never chill filtered

Each bottle is numbered by hand and carries the cask it came from. Add water at the table if you want it softer, rather than us doing it for you.

Visit

The door is open on Saturdays

Come and taste what is in the tun. If a cask is ready you can fill a bottle from it and write your own label.
