Brewery Yeast Project

Retribution Distilling

£74

The Project For the past couple of months we have been slowly working on something quite special and a bit of a first in English whisky. We have been speaking to several iconic English breweries about using there brewers yeast for whisky production. We will now be producing new make using 4 different brewery’s yeast, where the only variable will be the yeast. The breweries involved in this project include Harveys and Fullers plus 2 more! All the new make will be made using Maris Otter malted barley, with identical mash procedures and fermentation profiles, the same distillation cut points and

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 RETRIBUTION DISTILLING COMPANY LIMITED, number 12045127. 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: "After 6 months in the garden shed we up stills and moved to a local farm where we started producing rum, whisky and more recently our own vodka from whisky production waste. We have boot strapped our way to building a fully functioning award winning whisky distillery capable of laying down three 200L barrels of whisky a week." 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.
