Kirkwood Distillery spirits are distilled on site from fermented malted Maris Otter barley and/or rye. Many of the botanicals are from the Shropshire Hills to make truly local spirits.
SINGLE BARREL RYE - cASK 2
An American style oak cask-aged spirit made right here in England. Double distilled to perfection and aged in a Staffordshire Oak cask.
Styled after an American whiskey, this oak-aged spirit is packed with flavour. Mix into your favourite whiskey cocktail or enjoy it neat with ice.
Cask 2 was released in autumn 2025.
Barley Vodka
Voted one of the top five UK vodkas at the London Spirit Awards.
Distilled entirely from locally grown malted Maris Otter barley, then gently filtered in charcoal, it retains a gentle sweetness.
The result is a supremely smooth vodka with a creamy texture and distinctive taste.
London Spirits Competition silver award. Great Taste Awards 2 stars.
Hillside Gin
Voted best new product at the Ludlow Food Festival
Kirkwood Distillery makes their spirit from fermented locally grown malted Maris Otter barley, one of a very small number of gin producers distilling their own base spirit.
This fragrant and perfectly balanced gin is truly the taste of the Shropshire Hills. Made in the single-shot method. The higher strength of 46% ABV expresses the botanicals better and holds its flavour with mixers or in cocktails.
Kirkwood Distillery won a silver award at the London Spirits Competition and a Great Taste Awards star with its Hillside Gin.
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. The flavours are concentrated and the botanicals subtly release in a sparkling wine spritz.
Islay Cask Gin
Aged in an oak cask from Islay that previously held rich peaty whisky.
The oak gives a gentle colour to this rich, smoky and complex gin and just needs to be served over ice.
It won a silver award at the London Spirits Competition.
