Our Story
A unique setting
The Cotswolds have been a constant influence through my life. Growing up in this most idyllic region of England I was surrounded by flower rich grasslands, ancient woodlands scented with lily of the valley, historic orchards and the wildlife that inhabited them. A love of nature was a natural development and led to my former life as a photojournalist specialising in conservation stories - supplying non-profit media to over 118 countries – a perfect way to find, experience and capture these rare and precious moments. Finding fruit distilling came as a natural extension to this discipline.
‘…wonderful drinkable perfumes…inspired…’
Paz Levinson, Chef Sommelier Executive at Groupe Pic, 8* Michelin.
This distillery has grown from just me to four of us; family, friends and our dog Pippin. Tens of tons of local fruit processed in the garden keep us busy from late June through to the New Year in a long, focused season. Each expression an unrepeatable record of a year’s growth. Our Garden Swift gin is a canvas where my own dedication to the isolation of essence is extended through a canvas of flavour and aroma.
