Distilling our own base spirits in small batches
And always have been. All of the base spirits are distilled by us in Stanton Lacy from local barley or rye in our reflux column still. Our gin includes foraged botanicals from the Shropshire Hills. Look in our online shop for new and limited releases.
special release Cask TWO
Single Barrel Rye
Similar to an American whisky, Single Barrel Rye is a flavourful oak aged spirit made using traditional methods and high-quality British grain. A blend of 52% malted rye and 48% barley will create a unique blend of malted sweetness, cereal depth and rye spice.
This single barrel release of 145 bottles is being aged in a second-fill oak cask made by Jensen's Cooperage from a 183 year-old tree that fell in a storm on the Apley Estate. We originally filled it to start a four grain whisky, and it is being released in Autumn 2025 without blending to maintain the integrity of the cask influence. If you wish to reserve one, please contact us.
