Silent Pool Distillers is an award winning artisan distillery, producers of luxury English spirits handcrafted in the Surrey Hills.
Founded in the Spring of 2014, and licenced later that year, Silent Pool Distillers was set up with the vision of creating hand-crafted, premium spirits with uncompromising quality. By the skillful hands of the distillers, each essential ingredient is carefully selected and, where possible, locally sourced. It is hugely important to the company that every stage is overseen with precision, knowledge and exceptional care. To ensure this ethos it met, every single bottle that is produced by Silent Pool Distillers, including their signature product Silent Pool Gin, is entirely crafted within the four walls of the distillery, even the bottling takes place on site. It is all very labour intensive, but well worth the effort to create a delicate, complex and internationally acclaimed gin that is rolling out across the UK, Europe, USA and Japan.
Drawn by a common passion for craft distilling, a group of friends came together to create a new kind of distillery, producing handcrafted, artisan spirits with uncompromising quality. In an extraordinary location on the Duke of Northumberland’s Albury Estate, a group of dilapidated farm buildings on the banks of the legendary Silent Pool has been transformed to become the home of the Silent Pool Distillers.In keeping with the original vision for a sustainable business, a vintage wood-fired steam boiler was restored to power the hand-built copper still, created for Silent Pool Distillers by the Arnold Holstein Company in the Lake Constance area of Germany.The distillery was completed with the arrival of the bespoke stainless steel tanking, sourced from the Vipara Valley in Slovenia, tanking designed to hold both the spirit and the crystal clear water used to make delicious spirits.
Our product range includes: Silent Pool Gin, Silent Pool Distillers (small batch), Silent Pool Distillers Gin (custom collection) and WRY Grain Vodka.
