Who are the WMD
We are a family of Distillers. Honing our craft over 3 generations
From our home at The West Midlands Distillery we craft a range of Multi Award Winning Spirits and Liqueurs including: Rum, Gin, Vodka and Whisky ( 2024). We source the finest responsibly produced ingredients and botanicals from around the Globe to handcraft premium bespoke Spirits, as well as growing a selection from our Distillery Garden.
We create a range of brands, as well as over 50 Custom Bespoke Spirits for other brands and customers such as: brand owners, retailers, restaurants, hotels, pub co's etc.
Our Whisky
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. This produces our signature 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 varying cask sizes, typically smaller than the industry norm to impart a greater flavour to our maturing spirit.
Our first Whisky was bottled August 10th 2024, celebrating the Black Country and Birmingham region. The first ever Whisky to be produced in the county of West Midlands. Our first release is will be launched 11th July 2025, our past Matriarchs birthday.
Single Malt New Make Spirit
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 inefficient, takes too long, costs too much, requires massive amounts of labour and limits our output at every turn.
But, since when has efficiency, in any crafted product, not often been at the detriment of quality.
Our beautiful hand crafted range of Spirits are created using the best quality natural ingredients including botanicals grown by our team at our Distillery Garden.Our beautiful glass is made from 100% post consumer recycled glass and is then hand painted in house by our distilling team.
Our Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur has been honed over several years at our distillery bar and although enjoyed great neat over ice its party piece is the best Espresso Martini.
Not only does it make the most luxurious Martini but it removes all other ingredients. You no longer need Vodka, Coffee Liqueur and Espresso, our new product contains it all.
Simply use 75ml of Coffee Liqueur and 25ml of water. Shake with ice for the perfect Espresso Martini with the perfect creamy head right down to the last sip.
Celebrating our region beautifully adorning our glass in the Black Country and Birmingham Canal Network.
Expect dark molasses, caramel and notes of Madagascan Vanilla; all underpinned with gentle warming allspice.
This versatile Rum is perfect sipped neat over ice, mixed with cola or ginger ale; or in its perfect serve as part of a Dark and Stormy Cocktail.
