We are reinstating the tradition of Maidstone pioneer and Master Distiller, George Bishop, who created quality and world-renowned spirits from our county town back in 1785.
We’re new, but our roots are built on a rich heritage of spirit making in Maidstone.
We distill 3 signature gins plus our Sharps Toffee Liquer in our beautiful distillery in the heart of Maidstone.
Join us on a tour of our award-winning distillery and let us immerse you in our world for 90 minutes of spirited fun.
We are proud of our sustainability efforts, we use 100% green energy, only plastic free packaging and partner with local charity Plantlife who benefit from sales of our Ranscombe Gin, which uses botanicals foraged from their Nature Reserve.
