Our Story

It all started at the beginning of 2019 when I joined English Spirit Distillery as the Operations Manager. Before then my experience of Spirits was like most people & was based around what I saw in pubs or friends & acquaintances had exposed me too.

But during my time there, I tasted some truly delicious Spirits & Liqueurs, helped make them from scratch, bottled & labelled them, as well as going out at weekends with a gazebo in the middle of a field selling the English Spirit range of products. I met some wonderful people & had some interesting conversations, but above all I saw the reactions of people, that smile & look in their eyes as they taste something great. This got me thinking, could I create flavours to give that feeling too?

Knowing that everyone has different tastes I started thinking about flavours & flavour combinations & could I create something that would showcase these in a special way. So we looked at ourselves & came up with 3 Liqueurs, a Rum, a Gin & a Vodka that touched our soul & we hope they touch yours too.

From these humble beginnings we have expanded the range with more of our ideas as well as listening to our customers & creating a truly impressive range.

We have several more ideas for the future so keep checking in to see when they appear.

In 2026 we have taken on a Unit in Rickinghall, where we are moving everything from our house to the unit to set up our Distillery. It will be a long road to get it to where we want to be and are busy applying for all the licenses again for it. We will give regular feedback on progress on our YouTube channel (Search for Stardust Spirits).
