Award-Winning Gin And Vodka
We grow, harvest and mill our wheat before distilling and bottling our spirits – all on the Ramsbury estate. each part of the process is carefully conducted to create award-winning gin and vodka, from field to glass each bottle can be traced back to the very field in which it began its journey.
Built in 2015, our distillery is kitted out with state-of-the-art equipment, including a 43 plate copper still, and 2 pot stills for gin production. we first began distilling our own vodka from our wheat – traditionally a bakers wheat- which though lower in yield, produces a far more distinct, and smooth flavoured spirit before adding gin to our portfolio. thanks to our careful process, high quality ingredients and expertise, we produce some of the finest spirits in Wiltshire.
From Field To Glass
Our Process
We begin the process by planting our wheat – a bakers wheat traditionally – cultivated on the rich chalk soils of Ramsbury’s estate. Once harvested, milled and fermented, the wheat becomes ‘low wine’, and is diluted and distilled through a 43-plate copper column still.
It’s part of a close loop production cycle that used the land to its fullest potential, with little wastage.
A biomass boiler powered by our estate’s sustainable woodland heats the still, the spent grains feed the estate’s cattle, and in turn, their manure is returned to the fields. Even Ramsbury’s wastewater is funnelled back to the land after being safely purified through a series of wildlife friendly reed filtration beds.
Smooth and characterful spirit
The Ingredients
The base of our spirits is simple. Two ingredients combine to make a smooth and characterful spirit – Our wheat and chalk filtered water.
These are the only two ingredients that give our vodka it’s distinct and unique flavour. To create our gin, we take this spirit and add out 9 botanicals, including our signature quince which is grown in our orchard just footsteps away from the distillery.
