The Spirit
Our commitment to quality has seen us partner with the team at Ramsbury Brewery & Distillery Co. Ltd to transform our flour into our base spirit.
Like us, Ramsbury are farmers first. Agricultural heritage and respect for the land is ingrained in both our organisations. Their diversification journey led them into brewing and distilling using the wheat grown and harvested on their estate with sustainability at the heart of their production.
In Ramsbury’s state of the art distillery, heat is generated from a biomass boiler powered by the estates sustainable woodland to create power and steam. Wastewater is funnelled back to the land after being safely purified through a series of wildlife friendly reed filtration beds. Spent grain from the distillery is fed to the cattle and their manure incorporated back into their fields.
The complex processes of creating a base spirit from scratch takes twelve days. Each stage of mashing, fermentation, stripping, rectification, polishing, and demethylation requires precision, constant monitoring and importantly patience.

Planting the wheat to producing our base spirit is a 12-month process. We consider the extra time, graft and cost worth it to produce the highest quality premium base spirit on which Tipplemill Gin is crafted.
