DRINK PROFILE
Durham Distillery has something very exciting to announce In winter 2018, we are moving to a new distillery in the heart of Durham city - where alongside our awardwinning gin and vodka we will also be producing the North East’s first single malt whisky. Founded by our owner Jon Chadwick in 2014 and born out of a passion for craft spirits inspired by America’s East Coast drinks scene, we initially launched with our signature Durham Gin - a distinctively unique gin with a spicy and savoury character. This was closely followed by a vodka, and more recently fresh juice-based liqueurs Strawberry and Pink Peppercorn and warming Damson, Blackberry and Ginger. "We want to lead the way and pioneer a new way for people to understand and experience craft
spirits. Our distillery will be a place where people come to enjoy our spirits, and to learn about the science of the distilling process, the craft behind them, how to drink them, and share our enthusiasm and passion for craft spirits. They are real spirits, made by real people in a real distillery." says Jon Chadwick. Our new distillery will feature a range of informative and interactive tours while showcasing our finest drinks by the glass or bottle through public and private events, with the impressive backdrop of our working distillery, custom lauter tun, towering stainless steel washbacks and handmade copper stills. Throughout our journey we have ensured to source the highest quality ingredients from the malt,
to the yeast, water and importantly casks. All of this ensures we will create a whisky with genuine character that is smooth, clean and has our distinctive Durham touch - a city with exquisite views, and special people, independent minded, not afraid to think for themselves, and just like us. As part of our journey we will be opening our Private Reserve, a way for our biggest supporters to be involved, whether it be a bottle, case or cask. Private Reserve members will also receive behind the scenes updates from our Head Distiller on the progress of the new distillery, product development and testing as well as exclusive offers and promotions. Packages are named after Durham's beautiful bridges and supporters can choose
from gin, whisky or a cask, the 400plus bottles should keep you going for a while, be warned numbers are limited. You can find all of the information on the packages at www.durhamdistillery.co.uk/whisky
