The Distinct Story
Nestled deep in the Shropshire hills near Ironbridge, here at Distinct, our team blends together over 16 years of Spirits industry experience with over 40 years expertise in crop nutrition to pioneer an innovative approach to distilling. This unique combination enables us to not only craft the highest quality, English Spirits, but with each batch produced we’re improving soil health in revolutionary ways.
Our aim has always been to produce great tasting spirits from scratch, but as we’ve grown over the years, so has our vision. We understand first-hand the barriers and challenges facing many within the industry whether it’s distillers, cask owners or businesses looking to create their own brand and our simple goal is to make it accessible, easy and stress free for those working within it.
We’re a family business that prides itself on providing high quality services with transparency and integrity, and with our team of experts across all areas, we can give people the confidence their future dreams are in the right hands. Whether you’ve got a cask to store, a brand to bottle or an idea to launch, we can help.
Award Winning Recipes
To date, we have successfully launched three brands, won two prestigious awards, and made significant strides in regenerative farming and charity initiatives with our latest release. Our in-house distiller, Josh, is the mastermind behind our great tasting liquids, and is continually pushing the boundaries on recipe development to bring unique, quality spirits to market that improve soil health
with every batch.
Cask investment opportunities
Our unique cask programme gives clients the option of aging either our premium, award winning British Rum or our English Whisky created in collaboration with Hobsons Brewery. We’re making cask investments accessible, offering support every step of the way to open up a fantastic opportunity to diversify investment portfolios in a time of uncertainty.
Extensive capabilities
Our vast, bonded storage facility is complimented by a bottling and labelling capability for both small batch and large scale. Combined with our ability to fulfil and distribute orders, this makes us the easiest and compliant solution for all contracting requirements.
