Oak Aged Gin - Islay Cask
Many spirits are aged in oak casks. Gin can benefit from this treatment as well.
Products
All Kirkwood Distillery spirits are distilled from grain to glass using locally grown barley as the base ingredient of our spirit. Flavours and botanicals are hand-foraged from the Shropshire Hills to make truly local spirits. Below is our range of unique gins and vodkas.
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.
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
Whinberry Gin
Whinberries are also known as bilberries, whortleberries, whimberries, blaeberries, huckleberries. No matter what name you use, these are wild mountain blueberries that grow all over the Shropshire Hills.
Steeped in Hillside Gin, whinberries give their amazing colour and flavour to this fruity and luscious liqueur.
Islay Cask Gin
Aged in an oak cask that previously held rich peaty whisky from the famous Scottish island of Islay.
The oak gives a gentle colour to this rich, smoky and complex gin.
Where to Buy
Kirkwood Distillery products are sold at a variety of retailers throughout Shropshire and the surrounding areas.

Copper is so important to spirits production that it almost qualifies as an ingredient. However, a copper still doesn't automatically make a spirit good. It's how copper is used in the process that makes the difference.
