Kent’s first micro-distillery. A fusion of science and nature.

Nestled within the picturesque village of Marden, deep in the heart of the idyllic Kent countryside, here at Anno Distillers we were the first to start distilling gin in the county in over 200 years, as well as being Kent’s first ever micro-distillery.

At Anno Distillers, we use our scientific backgrounds, inventive skills, and the spirit of alchemy to produce outstanding handcrafted spirits. This fusion of science and nature results in artisanal spirits which are exceptionally smooth and bursting with complex flavours.

Being based in the Garden of England, there are many amazing botanicals of Kentish origin to choose from. Our signature Anno Kent Dry Gin uses botanicals such as a special blend of aromatic Kentish hops, as well as carefully chosen varieties of local lavender from the Downderry Nursery, elderflower, rose hips, and samphire from the Historic Romney Marsh. These flavours are enhanced by the traditional notes of juniper, coriander and angelica root among others. We also add fresh lemon, kaffir lime leaves and bitter orange to give the spirit a citrusy lift. The botanicals, together with English grain spirit, are distilled in Patience, our beautiful 300L copper pot still.

Since our humble beginnings in 2011, we have developed a range of premium spirits, which include a variety of fruity gins. Some of our fan favourites are our Anno B3rry Pink Gin, Orange and Honey Gin, and Magic Colour Change Blueberry & Strawberry Gin, as well as our special winter editions - like our Christmas Spiced Cranberry Gin. We also like to have a bit of fun by putting our scientific knowledge to the test, which has led to our creation of the world’s strongest gin, at 95% ABV, the aptly named Anno Extreme 95. The latest editions to the Anno collection are our range of rums in Golden Botanical, Dark Spiced and Pink Rhubarb.

We also offer a range of distillery tour and tasting experiences and even the chance to create your very own signature gin in our Blending Lab. Check out our website for the full range of spirits and experiences.

You can find Anno products at retailers across Kent; order online or find us in our pop-up store in Bluewater from October to December on the Upper Thames Walk next to Boots, where you will also find some limited edition Anno spirits.
