Building a true farm-to-glass craft distillery isn’t just about installing equipment and waiting for spirit to mature, it means playing strictly by nature’s rules. And this past year, nature gave us a bit of everything.

From a fluke -4°C freeze in May that wiped out our orchard to five relentless heatwaves in a row, the land tested us at every turn. Beyond the weather, we faced the inevitable friction of bringing a modern site to life, navigating unexpected commissioning delays as we prepared our custom setup.

Every single setback, however, has only sharpened our focus.

Despite the hurdles, the progress on the ground has been incredible.

Our grain is fully harvested and safely in, our distillery tours are open to visitors, and we are now standing on the very edge of firing up our stills to begin distilling our inaugural English whisky.

Before those first official distillation runs begin, we wanted to create a way to share this landmark moment with the people who have supported us from the beginning.
