Winter Solstice

Whittaker's Distillery

£39

A smooth Winter spicy and fruity 42% London dry gin with a base of Juniper, Coriander and Angelica Root gently overlaid with signature botanicals of dried Bitter Orange, Sultanas, Raisins, Currants, Star Anise with a kiss of Cloves and Cinnamon. The ideal fireside tipple for cold winter nights as the Star Anise gives it snuggly warmth with a background fruity and orange finish, the flavours come in layers. This gin is totally unfiltered so when served over ice, it may turn a little cloudy as the oils come out of solution but this way, it does not lose its nose, taste and unique character when

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 WHITTAKER'S DISTILLERY LTD, number 08840537. 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.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
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.
