West Midlands Distillery

Producing award winning Spirits and grain to glass production from our Distillery in the heart of the county of West Midlands

FOUNDED IN 2017, PRODUCING AWARD WINNING GIN, RUM AND VODKA; FROM 2021 OUR GOAL HAS INCLUDED LAYING

DOWN WHISKY CASKS TO PRODUCE A WORLD CLASS SINGLE MALT WHISKY WITH HERITAGE AND PROVENANCE

OUR WHISKY ONE PROJECT EXPERIMENTS WITH HERITAGE GRAINS, YEAST,

BREWING/DISTILLING TECHNIQUES AND VARIED CASKS.

The Beginning

Founded in 2017 by a family of distillers, with a goal of producing craft spirits the traditional way; in a copper pot still on open flame. Launching with Gin, Rum and Vodka and offering premium bespoke spirit and white labelling production; all in the pursuit of, one day, being able to produce our own Single Malt Whisky.

The Middle

Laying down Single Malt Whisky casks since 2021, our single barrel approach means we are able to experiment with heritage grains, yeast strains, brewing techniques and cask selection; whilst still retaining our full bodied, fruit forward identifying character of our spirt.

The Goal

2024 will see us bottle the regions first ever Single Malt Whisky, Bottle 1 Cask 1. This bottling a symbol of our first ever Whiksy. Although you will have to wait a little longer for our first proper release you will be able to see this first ever bottling in pride of place in our Whisky HQ upon opening later this year.

Copper and the Craft

Our Trio of 100% Copper Pot Stills create a range of Gin, Rum and Vodka - all in the pursuit of The West Midlands first Single Malt Whisky. Sign up to our mailing list below to keep up to date with our distilery news.

WMD Whisky

Unique, Individual Single Casks

Sourcing 100% English Barley from dedicated farms and traditionally floor malted for exceptional taste is how our journey starts. From there we mash, brew and ferment in small batches whilst experimenting with a variety of yeast strains to produce the full bodied fruit forward character of our new make spirit.

Our spirit is then matured in a variety of virgin, first fill and second fill casks to perfectly pair and complement the spirit. We also use a variety of cask sizes, typically smaller than the industry norm to impart a greater flavour to our maturing spirit.

Our first Whisky Casks will be ready from mid 2024, although, we will only be launching once our team agrees its matured profile is ready for release.

Single Malt New Make Spirit

What makes ours special?

Our new make is the culmination of decades of experimentation with the sole goal of making the best new make spirit to age into our Whisky.

We use heritage malts, speciality yeasts, long fermentations, direct fired copper still, extreme low yielding cut points with heads cuts on both Wash and Spirit Run and we don't even run Tails... we just flame out.

Yes it's innificient, takes too long, costs too much, requires massive amounts of labour and limits our output at every turn.

But, since when has efficinency, in any crafted product, not often been at the detriment of quality.
