The Royal County of Berkshire, home to Windsor Castle, has a short history of distilling but is now home to 3 gin distilleries. Pete Lumber launched Berkshire's first gin distillery, 137 Distillery, which was located at his pub, The Newbury, before moving to a dedicated site in 2022 at '137 Eat. Drink Distill' in Newbury town centre, but sadly closed in 2023. Berkshire Botanical Gin, launched in 2019 by Whitley Neill founder Johnny Neill was based orignally on the Yattendon Estate in West Berkshire but was purchased by Halewood Spirits in 2024 and production has since been moved to their Aber Falls Distillery in Wales.
