Henstone Distillery
Henstone Distillery in Oswestry, Shropshire was originally established in 2018 when Chris & Alexandra Toller joined forces with Stonehouse Brewery to move into distilling, initially with whisky production in mind. They launched their flagship Henstone Dry Gin the same year, made in a 2-day process in batches of 1,500 bottles using a 1,000L still. Now run by Chris and his son, Henry, Henstone Distillery was named 'Distillery of the Year' in The Gin Guide Awards, before repeating the feat in 2023.

  • ​​Tasting Notes: Aromas of earthy juniper, subtly floral hops and citrus. Balanced on the palate with juniper, cardamom and citrus peels. A long, warming finish with citrus peels and gentle spice.
The Gin Guide Review: Henstone Gin is well-rounded, warming and balanced, with a smooth and oily mouthfeel. With an abundance of flavoursome oils from the botanicals, the gin can be seen to louche as the oils are released when diluted with tonic. On the nose it is aromatic with juniper and deep rooty earthiness, and juniper and traditional gin botanicals come to the fore on the palate with cardamom and orange and lemon peels that provide strong depth of flavour. A hugely impressive flagship gin for Henstone Distillery. - Paul Jackson, 2018

Meet the Makers

"The distillery name comes from the founders' house names – Chris and Alex live in an old public house called “The Hen and Chickens” and Shane and Alison live in Stone House. After much deliberation the name Henstone emerged!" ​- Chris Toller, Co-Founder
