British Wild Plum Liqueurs

At Aedda’s Farm Distillery, our British Wild Plum Liqueurs are an authentic taste of flavour rooted in the British countryside. We use wild, hand-picked British plums, including Damson, Kea and Bullace varieties, grown using organic and regenerative farming practices. Each liqueur features our unique botanical spirit, crafted to showcase the distinct, complex flavour of the British countryside.

The Heart of the British Countryside: Aedda's Farm Distillery Wold Plum Liqueurs

This collection is our homage to the deep heritage of fruit liqueurs found across the British Isles. We believe a truly exceptional liqueur starts not just with the spirit, but with the quality and provenance of the fruit. By meticulously selecting heritage British plum varieties, including the purple-skinned Damson, the distinct West Country Kea plum, and the ancient Bullace, we ensure every bottle delivers a unique and uncompromising flavour.

We link this commitment to our home in Adstock, Buckinghamshire. Our regenerative farming philosophy means the plums used in our liqueurs are grown with the utmost care, contributing to a richer, more complex final spirit that genuinely reflects the terroir of our local area. When searching for genuine British Plum Liqueurs, provenance and process are paramount, and that is what Aedda's Farm Distillery guarantees.

The Anatomy of a Craft British Liqueur

A liqueur is defined as a spirit that has been sweetened and flavoured with fruits, herbs, nuts, or spices. However, a craft liqueur goes further, demanding uncompromising quality in every step of its creation. For Aedda’s Farm Distillery, this means three non-negotiable standards:

Estate-Grown & Heritage Plums: Our commitment to farm-to-bottle means we source from our own orchards and trusted local growers. We ensure we use the best, single-variety British plums, a distinct approach that sets our products apart from mass-market offerings.
Unique Botanical Spirit Base: We do not rely on generic neutral grain spirit. Instead, we create an aromatic base infused with carefully selected botanicals, lemon verbena, green cardamon, angelica root, and coriander seed. This complex foundation is designed to lift the plum’s natural notes, particularly in our flagship Golden Bullace Plum Liqueur.
Perfect Maceration: Each heritage plum variety requires a specific steeping time to extract its optimal flavour and beautiful colour. This patient, cold process ensures the final product is rich, well-rounded, and smooth.

Frequently asked questions

Why are your liqueurs referred to as 'British' instead of just 'Plum Liqueurs'?

We use the term British Plum Liqueurs specifically to highlight that the plums used, Damson, Kea, and Bullace, are all wild plum varieties traditionally grown in the UK. This distinguishes us from products using generic imported fruit and reinforces our provenance and support for English farming.

Can I visit the distillery in Buckinghamshire to purchase or sample your liqueurs?

Yes! We actively encourage visitors. Our tasting room in Adstock, Buckinghamshire, is open and offers a unique insight into our farm-to-bottle process. Please check our Distillery Tours page for booking information.

Are your plum liqueurs sweet, and how long do they last?

All liqueurs contain sugar, although they contain the same amount of sugar and honey they perceived sweetness can differ. Due to their alcohol and sugar content, they are exceptionally stable. We recommend storing them in a cool, dark place, where they will last for several years after opening, though the vibrant colour may fade over time.
