Maidstone Distillery Gins and Liqueurs

Maidstone Distillery have the perfect solution to making your festive G&T or cocktail truly Kentish! Located in the heart of Maidstone, their award-winning distillery produces fine quality craft spirits using traditional techniques on an impressive 450L copper pot still. Reinstating the tradition of Maidstone pioneer and master distiller, George Bishop, who created quality and world-renowned spirits from Kent’s county town back in 1785. Each of their recipes is handcrafted, using select botanicals that result in a spirit that tells its own story.

We stock the 70cl, 20cl and 5cl bottles individually and their delightful gift pack which includes a 5cl bottle of their award-winning George Bishop London Dry Gin, floral and herbaceous Ranscombe Wild Small Batch Gin and the delicious barrel aged and fruity Kipsi Rosé Gin – all presented in a Maidstone Distillery branded linen gift bags.

Traditionally crafted and distinctly smooth, George Bishop London Dry Gin is a perfect balance of 15 distinct botanicals. Warm Mediterranean orange and lemon combined with exotic spice. Sweet citrus notes from coriander and soothing chamomile are balanced with tellicherry pepper, cinnamon bark and ground almond. 

Foraging excursions to Ranscombe Farm play an exciting role as the distinctive local flora of the North Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty shine in this unique, zesty and herbaceous contemporary gin. A burst of playful floral notes on the nose are deceptive, as that first sip descends into dark pine forest notes, the juniper is warmed with exotic tangerine and jasmine. A tang of citrus bites, backed by herby notes of bay, lavender and then that first sweet explosion of fresh mint and meadow flowers tantalise the mouth.  Proudly supporting Plantlife – Speaking up for Wild Plants. We donate over 2.5% from the sales of Ranscombe Wild to support their important conservation work.
