Their distillery is based in Penn Street, near Amersham, and is in a unit that is part of a former factory that was used for producing Mosquito planes in WW2.

Launched in 2019, Marlow Distillery was set up by friends, Nick and Colin, who are colleagues in the technology industry and wanted to create a gin in and for their home town of Marlow. It took a year to set up the distillery and hone the recipe for their signature gin which is made in their still called Matilda, named after Queen Matilda, who was gifted the manor of Marlow by her husband, William the Conqueror.

Old Amersham Gin

Old Amersham Gin began as a hobby for founder Daniella Ashfield and her late father, David, who owned the historic Kings Arms Hotel, The Crown, and Kings Chapel in Old Amersham. Driven by their own love of gin and serving G&Ts at their pubs, the duo began growing ingredients in the pub's garden and using them to experiment with recipes for their own gin, before partnering with the locally-based British Honey Company to produce their gin.
