Bullards Distillery

Bullards Distillery was established in 2016 with their flagship London Dry Gin. However, the Bullards brand in Norwich has a history in the brewing industry dating back to 1837. Bullards Distillery was originally set up at The Ten Bells pub, just a stone's throw away from the original Bullards brewery site, and it was the first distillery to be established in Norfolk. Having expanding their product range to include an Old Tom and Strawberry & Black Pepper Gin, in 2019 the distillery was moved a mile away to a Grade 2 listed building with four times the production capacity, and in 2021 Bullards opened multiple Gin Shops & Tasting Rooms across Norwich and London.

The Gin Guide Review: Bullards London Dry Gin is clean and rounded, with bold citrus and piney juniper backed up by cardamom and a spine of traditional gin botanicals such as cassia bark, coriander seeds and angelica root. The tonka beans bring gentle vanilla aromas and a subtle sweetness and nuttiness on the palate before the peppery and citrus finish sweeps in. The gin has a clear traditional core plus plenty of character and a couple of clever twists in the mix. The result is strong depth of flavour while also maintaining a fresh, dry and light quality. Ideal in a gin and tonic, garnished with orange or lemon. - Paul Jackson, 2018

Meet the Maker

"When I was a young lad I worked for the Norwich Brewery and actually worked on the Bullards brand which was originally established in 1837. I then went on to set up a marketing agency which I sold and I thought I would retire, but the opportunity arose to acquire the old Bullards brand and I simply couldn't resist!" - Russell Evans, Co-Founder
