Brindle Distillery will be celebrating two years in business on Saturday (June 8) – a day which also happens to be World Gin Day 2019.

“We have been overwhelmed with the support of locals, specially those that support The Cuckoo’s Nest bar at the distillery.

"I’m most proud of the real sense of community we have created and the jobs we have generated.”

The two years have seen the business deal with initial planning permission issues over the distillery itself as well as its gin bar – both of which have now been sorted.

The gins have been aged for 60 days in former bourbon barrels to produce a drink that Mark describes is for “curious gin fans to enjoy”.

Mark, from Wheelton, added: “The delicate and brief ageing process adds such a lovely extra dimension to the gins we produce.”
