DISTILLED ON THE WILTSHIRE DOWNS
INSPIRATION
Explorer’s Gin is built on a spirit of exploration rooted in Downton. Inspired by Sir Walter Raleigh, it reflects curiosity and discovery. Today that mindset drives how we create, from local sourcing to final blend.
OUR ETHOS
We build spirits that celebrate and reflect our heritage and the Wiltshire Downs. Local botanicals, real provenance, and hands-on distilling define every release. Each batch is developed here on the Downs.
ETHICAL
We show where your money goes. Independently rated by the Good Shopping Guide, we hold one of the highest ethical scores in UK spirits. We publish our approach and support projects that matter.
SUSTAINABLE
We reduce waste and build circular systems. Refill pouches cut glass use. Surplus fruit becomes orchard spirits. Byproducts return to the land. This is measured action, not marketing language.
Upcoming Events & Tastings
Check our calendar for more events. Tour dates will be added over the coming weeks. Please note the distillery has no heating and will be cold during the winter months.
REFILL POINTS
We feel our bottle is too beautiful to throw away and want you to reuse it. That is why we offer refill pouches and refill points.
Every reused bottle not only helps to save the planet but also saves you money. We are continually looking at how we improve our carbon footprint through environmental and sustainability initiatives.
You can refill refill your bottle at Downton Brewery, Regent Tailoring, Dark Revolution, Kingsgate Wines & Provisions & Healthy Life.
