Lista de produtos da marca Silent Pool Distillers

You wouldn't be the only one wondering how a distillery situated deep in the Surrey Hills woods came about. It's the story of two Surrey locals who came together to create a distillery where things are done right.

In 2014, founders Ian McCulloch and James Shelbourne met in their local pub (where else?) and discussed the idea of creating a small, local distillery. Taking inspiration from Scottish whisky distilleries, the two friends started with the grand vision of creating a truly sustainable distillery next to a freshwater spring, producing craft spirits with locally sourced ingredients. But first they needed the perfect location.

Most distilleries end up in shady locations or boring industrial areas. What's so funny about that? Ian and James wanted somewhere full of history, a good story and lots of provenance. After searching many locations in the south of England, one day Ian came across Sherbourne Farm (a former cow stable and zoo) on the banks of the magical Silent Pool in the Surrey Hills, an area of great natural beauty. Excited by their discovery, Ian and James contacted the landowner, the Duke of Northumberland, and obtained permission to restore the ruined farm buildings and transform them into Silent Pool Distillery.
