About this deal

There was also the Bank Hall [whisky] distillery that was creating spirits as well, so Liverpool has always had a distilling heritage. What may come as a surprise, however, is that the Liverpool City Region has emerged as a hotbed for firms making the spirit - with various brands recording astounding success from Knowsley to West Kirby.

You’re based in The Wirral. Was the sense of provenance important to you when creating Tappers Gin?Then I think this got a bit over saturated and people began to look into something new, which is where gin came to prominence. The original idea was to retail 200ml bottles online and use the proceeds from sales to those less in need to fund donations of sanitiser to Arrowe Park Hospital. It absolutely snowballed – we had no idea just how much the NHS was struggling. He said over the past five years, the Whitley Neill brand has gained "real traction", with support not only from bars and pubs' gin connoisseurs, but also support from trade grocers and retailers.

When the firm launched in 2017, Drew said, owners were concerned “we may have entered the gin market too late”.I was taking calls from hospitals all over the North West and North Wales, from Lytham to Warrington, Manchester, Bangor, you name it. We had to prioritise in the end, focusing on our local area, which was a really distressing decision to take. I think it highlighted just how few independent distilleries there were at a time of crisis when the constituent component, ethanol, is of course only available to those of us who produce in-house. Brightside Gin is our signature London Dry Gin and the distilled counterpart to Darkside Gin. We are the first and only Distillery in the UK to use two production techniques to create both a cold-compounded and distilled version of the same botanical recipe with fresh, natural coastal ingredients. Stewart said: “We have teams on the ground in Russia, the USA, China and Australia. In three of these markets we also have production facilities and local brands, such as the Ironbark Gin in Australia. In 2008, rules were eased following lobbying from London brand Sipsmith, with the firm given England’s first official gin distiller’s licence in almost 200 years.
