Black Mountains Botanicals Distillery, Tours, Tastings & Experiences

Distillery tours – Gin and Rum making workshops – Tasting sessions – Accommodation available

Black Mountains Botanicals was started in 2018 by friends Lloyd & Glyn, making award winning gins which range from silky smooth cuts, to fruity Herefordshire apple blends.

While many producers buy in their base to flavour it in-house, here Herefordshire’s only independent single estate distillery makes its spirit on site from local apples collected from neighbouring orchards and farms like Gwatkin Cider. The Black Mountains Botanicals distillery sits in the shadow of the rugged Black Mountains, surrounded by the fields and orchards of Herefordshire, and is the perfect place for blending smooth gins and other spirits, infused with natural Herefordshire flavours and exotic botanical blends.

Now with a range of rums, vodka, liqueurs and a signature Los Cafeteros cold brew coffee liqueur (ideal for cocktails) you can buy from their online shop or quality local outlets.

Gin & Rum making Experiences – Spend an afternoon in this award-winning Herefordshire distillery. Their master distiller will give you all the training needed to distil your own personal bottle of Gin or spiced Rum. Choose from a huge range of botanicals.

Tours & Tastings – take a sensory tour of the coffee roastery, learning about the different regions, and the coffee roasting process.
