Launched in 2017, Cuckoo Gin is produced by the Singleton family in a copper pot still called Maggie, named after their Great Aunt Margaret. The distillery is located on Holmes Farm in Lancashire, which has been in the Singleton family since 1931. The gin is distilled with fresh water from a local spring and all waste products from the distilling process are used either to feed the Holmes Farm chickens and cattle or spread on the fields as a natural fertiliser.

The gin's name is inspired by the story of the 'Brindle Cuckoo'. According to local legend, in the Middle Ages the people of Brindle tried to prevent the first cuckoo of spring from leaving their village by building a wall around its field. The plan failed, but people born and bred in Brindle are still known as 'Brindle Cuckoos'.

MEET THE MAKERS

​"The family farmed the land for almost 100 years, specifically pedigree beef cows over the last ten years. It become apparent to Gerard Singleton that neither he or his children saw their future in farming in its current manner."
