Cotswolds Distillery
Founded in 2014 by a New Yorker inspired by the area's barley fields, the Cotswolds Distillery is a gem of the area. Although the long-term goal was to make whiskey, that aging process takes time, so in the interim, the distillery experimented with 150 different botanical spirits, including 60 recipes for gin. The best of those experiments was put into production as the Cotswolds Dry Gin, and the first whiskey was ready three years later. The distillery now offers a variety of tours and master classes as well as tastings. Ninety-minute distillery tours with tastings take place daily at 10:30 am, 1:30 pm, and 3 pm. You can combine a visit with lunch at the Still House Café on-site. Stourton is 8 miles northeast of Moreton-in-Marsh. The distillery also has shops in Bourton-on-the-Water and Broadway.
