Our Process
The wonderful gardens of Ripley Castle, right here in the heart of Yorkshire, are where many of the botanicals for our Gin are grown. We even have a large Victorian Hot House where our tropical plants live.
OUR BOTANICAL GARDEN
Fresh botanicals are handpicked just before being taken personally to the distillery and placed into the stills. We are honoured to be working with such a fine establishment and we’re already working on using unique seasonal botanicals that can be found at Ripley Castle.
WITH OUR COPPER TWINS
Zac and Cassie, named after our oldest children, are designed to work perfectly with our recipes. Their bespoke shapes are not just pretty, they will also deliver the best efficiency to every distillation. The copper, beautiful in its intense and shiny colour, works in every batch to ensure smoothness and balance.
FINISHED EXCLUSIVELY WITH HARROGATE SPRING WATER
Unlike most distilleries, our spirits are diluted with 100% Harrogate Spring Water after distillation – nothing else. It’s an arduous task that involves the shipment of many 10 litre boxes of Harrogate’s Finest, but very much worth it! We are very proud to be the only distillery in the world to be authorised to use Harrogate Spring Water in our products.
OUR HONEY
The honey for our rum has been carefully chosen after meticulously tasting and experimenting with over 6 different local honeys. We found the best from an impressive array of the most amazing honey, one which would marry the ingredients of our Honey Harrogate Rum perfectly.
