Introducing England's youngest whisky distillery
Set in the heart of southwest Wiltshire in the historic village of Fonthill Bishop, the beautiful 9,000 acre Fonthill Estate provides us with the ideal surroundings to make the finest English whiskies, gin and vodka.
The distillery building is a Grade 2 listed barn dating back to the 1600’s. Beside it, a magnificent grain drying barn houses our visitor centre and shop.
Underpinning the provenance and quality of Witchmark spirits is an unassailable grain-to-glass story. The barley is grown in the surrounding fields with the pure water used for production coming from a large chalk aquifer right under our feet. Indeed, the same water that is used to grow the barley is used to produce the beer wash that is distilled to become whisky.
Coupled with stills from Frilli, chosen for their excellent heat recovery technology, and with BCorp certification underway, sustainability is genuinely at the heart of all Witchmark operations.
Almost uniquely for a British company, we will be producing our own neutral grain spirit, further enhancing the authenticity behind the Witchmark brand story.
As we approach our official launch, we have opened applications for The Witchmark Club, enabling members to be at the forefront of the growing English whisky market.
