Meet the Maker of Goldings Gin
Created by a pharmacist with a passion for gin. Science and art have collided to produce these truly exceptional small batch artisan gins.
My fully licensed distillery is based in my home village of Stoke Golding, Leicestershire. I use traditional methods to create my unique London Dry gins.
Each bottle is individually produced by hand, with precision and care, in batches of no more than 40 bottles at a time.
After 32 years of working as an NHS pharmacist, I retired from the day job in March 2024. You don’t need to be a pharmacist to make gin, but it has certainly helped me.
I started enjoying gin back in 2008 and a few years later I started dreaming of making my own gin. My aim was to launch a distillery that would eventually carry me forwards into retirement, after a long and fulfilling career in the NHS.
In 2017 I went on a course on how to open a gin distillery, and then the business planning began. I got my first licences in 2019 allowing me to start recipe development. The pandemic meant I had to focus on the NHS day job, meaning I wasn’t ready to launch my Signature London Dry Gin until March 2022.
My gins are juniper forwards and complex. I combine my scientific reasoning with creativity and flair, and a lot of experimentation, to make a gin that is part of me.
I don’t expect everyone to like my gin, but I do hope that you will love it as much as I do.
