The distillery was set up on the picturesque 3,000 acre country estate last year. Shortly afterwards, the micro distillery saw its first product, Burrell’s Dry Gin, come off the production line which was inspired and named after 19th-century squire Charles Burrell Massingberd.

We use Isolde, which is a 10L copper pot still from Serbia,” he says. “Next we create a recipe, so I took into consideration everything that I wanted the blend to reflect and then looked at flavours, which gave me those desired characteristics. “We start with 50L of 96%, which we mix with water to make 100L in our still. Then we add our botanicals directly into the still in brew bags and heat the still up to 40 degrees before switching it off and allowing it to macerate overnight. In the morning we start the distillation, which takes around nine hours, not including the overnight maceration.” Tristan says there isn’t a time scale for getting the recipe right. “You could spend a lifetime tweaking and modifying it. For me it was about achieving the balance I wanted and the flavour journey that I had planned. “Once I‘m happy with the gin, it becomes about confidence that this is the right recipe and the one people are going to like. “My aim was to take the consumer’s palate on a journey through all my botanicals.

It was here that he joined the team of production operators responsible for the company’s iconic single malt. “Over four weeks I learnt how to turn malted barley into whisky and I was hooked,” he explains. “It was a passion; as if a flame had been lit inside me and I had found my purpose.” Tristan also worked with Chase Distillery in Hereford where he says he “learnt to mash the humble spud, ferment and then rectify it into then the world’s best vodka”. “It was here that I really honed my creative skills and spent time doing lots of fun research and development.
