The Next Step Gin - Batch 2

Henstone Distillery

£34.95

The Next Step Gin has been produced by Henstone Distillery to celebrate The New Saints of Oswestry (TNS) progression to the UEFA Conference League Group Stage in the 2024/25 season. This is the first time ever that a club from the Welsh (Cymru) League has done this, what an achievement? The gin itself is a very traditional juniper forward Henstone London Dry with hints of orange and lemon and bottled at 40%. The first batch sold out so quickly that we decided to make a second. There were only 57 bottles in the 1st batch – identifiable by the last three digits of the duty stamp which range from

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
Stated by the company: "Following a restructure in 2023, Mike Harris acquired 50% and the company relocated to a farm on Long Mountain owned by him." Source.
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.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
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.
