Distilleries information[edit]

Circumstance Distillery[edit]

Circumstance Distillery was founded by Liam Hirt in 2108. Based in the Whitehall district of Bristol, it is the sister distillery of Psychopomp Microdistillery. Circumstance Distillery prides itself on its 'Flavour first' approach, meaning every decision is made with flavour the only consideration. As a result of this approach they do not make a single malt whisky but use a variety of grains to produce single grain whiskies. They also use brewing yeasts instead of the traditional distilling yeasts and leave their fermentations running for 14 days. They released their first whisky in September 2022 which sold out in 9 minutes.[4]

Dartmoor Whisky Distillery[edit]

Situated in Bovey Tracey, Simon Crow placed a 1200-litre ex-cognac still in the Old Town House to start the Dartmoor Whisky Distillery in 2017.[5][6][7]

Guided by head distiller Frank McHardy, long time whisky industry veteran, the first whisky was casked on 3 February 2017.[8] Three and half years later the first single malt whisky was released.[5][9]

Durham Distillery[edit]

Durham Distillery was founded in 2014 as a gin distillery in Langley Park, County Durham and moved in 2020 to the Prince Bishops Shopping Centre in Durham, England.[10][11][12][13]

They started the distillery with a 400-litre Hoga pot still, Lily, to produce gin, vodka and liqueur. With the investment of the Finance Durham Fund the distillery was planning to move to the city centre in 2018, what they were able to do in 2020.[10][14][15][16] The production is the responsibility of the master distiller Jessica Tomlinson, a graduate from Heriot-Watt University who is involved from the start.[17] Owing to the delayed move, no whisky was distilled before November 2019.[13]

Hicks & Healey[edit]

In 2003 two of Cornwall's drinks producers, St Austell Brewery and Healey's Cyder Farm, announced that they had begun to produce the first whisky in England for almost a century. [18] [19]

In September 2011 the partnership released a 7-year old single malt and opted to use the spelling "whiskey". Whisky commentator and author of The Whisky Bible, Jim Murray, described the whisky as "among the best debut bottlings of the last decade". [18] [19] [20]

Isle of Wight Distillery[edit]

The Isle of Wight Distillery is known for their gin and vodka brand Mermaid, but also started distilling whisky in December 2015. [21] The founders Xavier Baker and Conrad Gauntlett started the distilling at Conrad's Rosemary Vineyard in 2014. Four years later, they moved to the Pondwell's pub The Wishing Well. [22] [23]

The stills have capacities of 100 and 300 litres. In spring 2019 they planned to install a custom designed 1,000 litre still. Big Bertha was operating in May 2020. [22] [24]

The first whisky was released in December 2018. For this single malt, the wort was brewed in Ryde at the Goddards Brewery where Xavier is managing director.[21][23][25][26]

Princetown Distillery[edit]

The company Princetown Distilleries filed their plans to build a whisky distillery in December 2016. [27] [28] [29]

Located at an elevation of 1,400 ft, in Princetown, Dartmoor National Park it will outrank Dalwhinnie in that category. [27] The design is by Gareth Roberts working for Organic Architects who previously was involved in the realisation of Ardnamurchan distillery, Dartmoor Distillery, Lindores Abbey Distillery, and Nc’nean distillery. [30] [31] Building started in August 2018. [32]

Lakesland Distillery[edit]

An unfruitful initiative of Harold Currie co-founder of Arran Distillery and his son Andrew Currie. Harold's other son, Paul Currie, would found The Lakes Distillery. [33] [34]

Andrew published his plans in 2004 for a distillery in the old Bobbin Mill in Staveley.[34] In 2006 work on the distillery was progressing, aiming for a Christmas opening. [34] [35] However, in 2007 the project was abandoned. [36]
