Warner's gin is proudly crafted at Warner's Distillery, located in the charming village of Harrington, Northamptonshire. This idyllic setting is home to the Warner family farm, where the distillery is housed in a beautifully converted, 200-year-old barn.

As an expert sommelier and brewer, I have had the pleasure of visiting Warner's Distillery and experiencing the magic of this unique location firsthand. The Warner family's commitment to quality and craftsmanship is evident in every aspect of their operation, from the ingredients they use to the attention to detail in their distilling process.
One of the things that sets Warner's gin apart is their dedication to using locally sourced botanicals. The distillery sits on the farm, allowing them to grow many of their own ingredients right on their doorstep. This farm-to-bottle approach ensures that only the freshest, highest quality botanicals make their way into each batch of gin.
During my visit, I had the opportunity to explore the farm and witness the care and attention that goes into cultivating these botanicals. From the vibrant purple fields of lavender to the fragrant rose gardens, every plant is tended to with the utmost care. It was truly a sensory experience to see, touch, and smell the ingredients that would eventually find their way into the gin.
The distilling process at Warner's is a labor of love, with Tom Warner and his team carefully overseeing each step. They use a small-batch copper pot still to create their gin, allowing for precise control over the distillation process. This traditional method ensures that the flavors and aromas of the botanicals are captured and preserved, resulting in a gin that is bursting with character.
In addition to their commitment to quality and craftsmanship, Warner's is also known for their innovative flavor combinations. They have a range of gins that showcase the versatility of the spirit, from their classic Harrington Dry Gin to their more adventurous offerings like their Rhubarb Gin and Honeybee Gin. Each one is thoughtfully crafted to deliver a unique and memorable drinking experience.
Whether you're sipping a Warner's gin and tonic on a warm summer evening or enjoying a creative cocktail at your favorite bar, you can taste the passion and expertise that goes into every bottle. Warner's gin is truly a testament to the art of distilling and a celebration of the British countryside from which it hails.
