At Spitfire Distillery, we have meticulously curated a collection of five specialised stills, each singularly focused to perfect a distinct aspect of our distillation process. This includes two world-renowned iStills, a bespoke copper pot still, a customised alembic still, and a specialised still exclusively for creating grape-based neutral spirits. Despite our compact size, our operations are marked by unparalleled efficiency, powered by cutting-edge, in-house developed monitoring and measurement technologies.
Our ethos of authenticity further elevates our offerings. Our premium single and double malt whiskies commence their journey in our own microbreweries, where we brew using carefully selected overseas grains. These are then triple distilled and matured for a minimum of two years in either French or American oak barrels, ensuring a rich, refined flavour profile.
Our dark spiced rum is crafted from locally sourced blackstrap molasses and raw cane sugar, which undergo a unique caramelisation process before fermentation. This is followed by a double distillation in our all-copper still, incorporating vapour infusion of carefully selected spices and botanicals based on an ancient Jamaican formula. The rum is then aged in re-coopered, charred American oak bourbon barrels for at least two years, culminating in a taste experience that transcends the traditional confines of this illustrious spirit.
Our "It’s Cactus" spirit, inspired by a time-honoured recipe, is meticulously crafted from certified blue agave syrup obtained from a renowned supplier in Mexico. Although stringent AOC regulations prevent us from labelling the final product as tequila, aficionados of this spirit will discover an unrivalled smoothness and enduring finish across our blanco, reposado, and soon-to-be-released añejo varieties.Finally, our gin is distilled in our larger iStill from a grape-based neutral spirit, infused with a selection of local botanicals. This process results in a juniper-forward gin that is sophisticated and layered with flavour. Anticipate a growing range of variants from this globally acclaimed spirit.At Spitfire Distillery, each sip tells a story of tradition, innovation, and artisanal excellence.
