Ludlow Distillery

HANDCRAFTED EXCELLENCE
We’re very proud to craft the very best spirits.

It all began with the birth of Ludlow Gin in 2018. From the outset we wanted to create premium hand-crafted gins that you could drink neat as well as in cocktails and the classic G&T; distilled spirits should be creations of beauty, something to savour. We distill gin as it has been crafted for hundreds of years, using only the finest natural botanicals, and definitely no artificial colours or flavours. We use a traditional, copper-pot distillation, all we add is water to bring the gin to bottling strength.

It was only a matter of time before we used our skills as master distillers to bring a premium whisky, vodka and rum to the market as well. All created with the same commitment to handcrafted excellence.

OUR HERITAGE
Ludlow is famous for food: passionate producers, characterful bistros and restaurants, and epic festivals.

“I’ve seen the food scene grow and develop over this time; I spotted a gap and thought I could combine my passion for premium spirits with my passion for Ludlow. It’s something new for the town I love, something that will spread the news that it’s a great place to visit.

Ludlow sits at the historical heart of the Welsh Marches, the borderlands between Wales and England. This region has been my home for the last 20 years; it’s an incredible place, from the rugged landscape of Shropshire to the rolling hills of Herefordshire.”
