All about Sibling

Sibling Gin, created by four brothers and sisters (who happen to be the youngest distilling team in the world), was launched in 2014. Unlike the vast majority of Gins produced in the UK, the Sibling team produces its own base Spirit for the Gin, meaning that all aspects of production take place on the same site.

The base spirit is made from sugar cane, and it takes over two weeks to create the wash, strip out the Alcohol and distil that to create the pure base Spirit which the team works with to create Sibling Gin.

Botanicals include juniper, coriander, cardamom, cubeb berries, local blueberries, vanilla pods, orris, liquorice and citrus fruit.

The result is a fresh Gin with sight sweetness from the base spirit and vanilla and a fruitiness from the berries. A traditional Gin this is not, but a progressive and interesting one that’s certainly worth seeking out.

All about Sibling distillery

The Sibling Distillery was launched in 2014 by four brothers and sisters; the youngest distilling team in the world, who at the time, were all under the age of 22. Taking inspiration from their parents, who run a microbrewery, the Elliott-Berry siblings decided to make a Gin, for which they would have full creative control.

They set up in a spare room in their parents’ brewery; creating their own base spirit, distilling the Gin, and bottling it all in one room. The cramped conditions were not ideal, so the Elliott-Berrys decided to start a crowdfunding campaign to raise enough funds to move to a new, bigger premises.

As of November 2016, they succeeded! At the time of writing, Sibling Gin is now being produced at its new home; the Sibling Distillery, which will in time have a visitors center and shop, as well as covering all production.
