Our Story
WELCOME TO THE CHURCH FARM DISTILLERY.
WHERE LOVELY ARTISAN SPIRITS ARE MADE.
We are an independent craft distillery nestled on Church Farm in Barlow, Derbyshire, producing nano-batch spirits, gin, rum, and Vodka by hand using foraged and farm-grown botanicals. Every drop is distilled in our solar-powered distillery, with provenance, quality and a true sense of place at the heart of everything we do.
Our Peak Heritage spirits and Derbyshire Heritage Distillations range captures the very essence of the Peak District — its wild landscapes, seasonal abundance and rich natural heritage. From our flagship gins to our carefully crafted vodkas and rums, each expression is small-batch, hand-finished and deeply rooted in the Derbyshire countryside we call home. We are also home to the retro GinZoil® and the trend-setting Hedka® range of spirits.
Having the distillery and growing botanicals on the farm itself, and that connection to the land, is what sets us apart. We also forage locally, but grow what we can, and let the seasons guide us — because the best spirits start long before they reach the still. Our award-winning master distiller is Dave Hemstock, who has many years of experience and is supported by a small team of dedicated investors.
Honest. Handcrafted. Derbyshire to the core.
