The vision behind our small Cornish distillery is to make great-tasting spirits with integrity. We aim to do this by going back to basics: using traditional techniques, quality ingredients and old-fashioned equipment. We believe the human touch in everything is absolutely crucial for superiority; our copper pot still is fired by flame and judged by eye, our botanicals are selected by sight and feel, our bottles are all individually filled, corked, sealed, labelled, numbered and waxed by hand.
