Bay Distilleries

Bay Distilleries started in our heads at virtually the same time, in fact the same evening, chatting on a certain famous multimedia platform. We are Chris and Jonathan, two friends that frequently share too many Gin and Tonics. We came to the conclusion that with Jonathan's experience in the brewing industry and Chris's experience in chemical engineering, we could take over the world, or at least make a fine Gin that we would love to drink on well, every occasion. We pooled our savings and bought a tiny 1 litre still and started developing flavours on Chris's kitchen table. After some questionable but still drinkable beginnings, we discovered a particularly delicious flavour combination of 3 peels, Grapefruit, Orange and Lime which feature in all our Gins and give a familiar feeling across the range. We were eventually evicted from the kitchen and set up in ‘The Old Piggery' a 17th Century two story Barn where we scaled up our operation in "Cockles" our Copper Pot Still. SIGNATURE GINWe feel we have perfected our "Signature" gin which is distilled in a two stage process with the 3 Peels in the vapour path of "Cockles" and the botanicals; Juniper Berries, Coriander Seeds, Orris Root, Angelica, Rowan Berries, Grains of Paradise, Cardamom and Liquorice Root in the boiler. There is one secret botanical that adds a certain character and is unusual to find in a Gin and it is picked by hand from the shores and inlets of our wonderful British coastline. On tasting with your favourite tonic and a slice of lime, it is the Berries you taste first, and they are not subtle, they are big, bold and in your face. As the Juniper and Rowan Berries calm, the freshness of the fruit peel appears on the tip of your tongue, then finally the storm rises, and the spices warm your palette as the liquorice finish takes over. Stormy Bay Signature is a truly unforgettable Gin.
