In the Heart of Yorkshire
We're open every Saturday, 12pm - 6pm, with distillery tours running at 1pm and 3.30pm. You can book your tour here, or simply come along to enjoy a drink at the bar and browse the shop. With disabled access and visitor parking, everyone is welcome to witness first-hand how whisky and other spirits are made.
Located just ten miles north of the historic city of York, the distillery sits nestled between the rolling contours of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the rugged Yorkshire Dales National Park. You can find us at The Old Stable, Stillington Road, Sutton-on-the-Forest, York, YO61 1EH. Major attractions such as York Minster, Castle Howard and Whitby are nearby.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Collaborating with Michelin-awarded chefs, working with local coopers and stonemasons, partnering with nearby artists, sourcing from local growers and even harvesting honey from our on-site beehives, ensures exceptional products are created - whilst supporting a network of independent producers.
Using state-of-the-art vacuum distillation for the gin and vodka, and a bespoke Tasmanian copper pot still for the whisky, all our spirits are distilled, bottled and labelled here at the distillery.
HONESTY
Enjoy honest spirits that taste exceptional and benefit the environment, from a distillery powered by 100% renewable energy.
We believe drinking good spirits needn’t cost the Earth. That’s why we’re the first in Europe to join environmental initiative 1% for the Planet, and the first in England to produce carbon-negative gin and net zero energy whisky. We also plant one square metre of Yorkshire woodland or wildflower meadow for every bottle sold, thanks to our charity partnership with Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust.

ADVENTURE
Inspired by the experiences of great-great-grandfather, Charles Cooper King, and fuelled by our wild adventures in Tasmania and beyond, we’ve self-built and crowdfunded a bold, independent distillery.
Founders, fans, friends and family helped us self-build on the site of an old stable block. The distillery houses a dedicated production area and cask maturation warehouse, together with a rustic tasting room and well-stocked shop.
Join us for tours, tasting evenings and special events. Guests after a luxury break away are encouraged to book into our on-site B&B.
