Ludlow Distillery

​Wardington's Ludlow Gin was launched in 2018 by Ludlow local, Shaun Ward, following careers in classical music and architectural conservation. Since releasing the flagship Ludlow Dry Gin, the range now includes a Navy Strength edition, a Spiced Gin, and host of contemporary gins, as well as liqueurs, rum, vodka and whisky. Each bottle is labelled using Italian paper and printed on a 1950s Heidelberg press. In 2023 the distillery was moved to Ludlow Farmshop, with Tours and Gin School experiences on offer.

The Gin Guide Review: "Ludlow Dry Gin is a charming example of a classic London Dry Gin. Juniper is immediately evident on the nose and palate and is beautifully accompanied by bright citrus, cardamom, coriander seeds, orris root and angelica. This traditional flavour profile is given a subtle twist with the use of gorse flowers which give additional depth when emerging in the background on the nose and in the long finish. The gin is smooth with very little alcohol kick, and makes for a fine choice for a martini, or Gin and Tonic garnished with lime." - Paul Jackson, 2019

Meet the Maker

"I was on a 10k run and ran past a gin distillery, the eureka moment, no one has made Ludlow Gin, my obsessive character kicked in, I love planning and I like a challenge. Before I knew it, I’d applied for the license, bought my first still, been granted a license and made my first gin about two months later." - ​Shaun Ward, Founder & Distiller
