OUR VALUES

WE BELIEVE THAT LIFE IS FOR LIVING AND SHOULD BE ENJOYED

We maintain that great taste should be at the heart of all good food and drink, and that ‘good enough’ isn’t good enough. Our values make us who we are, and we’re quite different to the rest.

QUALITY

TASTE FIRST

We are driven first and foremost to make the best spirits we possibly can: spirits to be savoured for their taste, not just their alcohol content. After all, drink are some of life’s greatest pleasures.

EPICUREAN ADVENTURE

We believe everyone should enjoy truly fine spirits; that’s why we craft ours to be sipped neat. We encourage epicurean adventures, a story in every sip.

GENEROUSLY SHARED

Food and drink is all about the pleasure of a shared experience. You don’t need to drink copious amounts to have a good time, but it can always be had with good company.

PRODUCED WITH PASSION

We don’t do things by halves, we do rich, brilliant flavours, crafting sensory journeys: from the first scent of aroma to the long, lingering mouthful. That’s our ‘Taste First’ guarantee.

JOHN WALTERS

MASTER DISTILLER

John-01.png

Having received a Doctorate in Biochemistry from Oxford University, John’s career ranged from pharmaceutical development to alcoholic beverage consultancy. Eventually he combined his biochemistry knowledge with his passion for fine food & drinks, and turned his hand to distilling. From his first still run over ten years ago, John realised there was a gap in the market for genuinely high quality spirits, and set out to bring the methodology of distilling firmly into the 21st century. 

​

Since that first experiment, he is one of the UK’s most experienced distillers. Turning an average of ten stills a day, and distilling the UK’s widest variety of spirits from scratch. His creations have won the most prestigious awards from the leading international spirit competitions, and he has consistently led innovation in the spirits market. He was first in the UK to distil rum, sambuca and baijiu; he has worked with some of the world’s finest ingredients; and has developed world leading techniques for extracting flavours and accelerating ageing processes. In other words, he has truly earned the title of Master Distiller.
