New Make Spirit

Henstone Distillery

£50

Every wanted to know what whisky tastes like before it is matured in wooden barrels? Well, now’s your chance! After being asked loads of times we’ve decided to start selling Henstone New Make Spirit. This is the barley spirit that comes from the whisky distillation process and is then diluted (liquored back) to cask strength – so this is not for the faint hearted as it’s 65.4% ABV/VOL.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as HENSTONE DISTILLERY LIMITED, number 09676373. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
