Let's Be Honest About Water
Water is an essential ingredient in any spirit, but that doesn't mean a special water source makes a better spirit.
Let's be honest about spirits
My spirits are distilled from barley and hand-foraged flavours from the Shropshire Hills
Hillside Gin
Botanicals hand foraged from the Long Mynd and Onny Meadows, and a pure base spirit distilled from locally grown barley.
This fragrant and perfectly balanced gin is truly the taste of the Shropshire Hills.
Barley Vodka
Distilled entirely from locally grown grain, then gently filtered for absolute purity, my vodka retains the gentle sweetness of malted barley.
The result is a supremely smooth vodka with a creamy texture and distinctive taste.
My Ethos

I take a different approach to my spirits, focusing on honesty and responsibility at every stage of my process. With good ingredients and great care and attention to detail, Kirkwood Distillery makes a good spirit and an honest spirit.

A proper martini is neither shaken nor stirred
While the basic recipe for a martini is deceptively simple, it’s a very complex cocktail to make well. The gin is almost bare to the palate with nowhere to hide.
