History
Gin’s story runs from 18th-century Britain’s cheap spirit era to a modern craft resurgence; Stockport’s industrial past supplies the buildings and engineering know-how many micro-distilleries repurpose today.
Conservation
The distillery emphasizes small-batch production, local botanical sourcing when possible, and recyclable packaging; practice responsible tasting and dispose of glass and waste properly.
