About Stockport Gin Distillery

Stockport Gin was launched in 2019 by husband and wife, Paul and Cheryl Sharrocks, who are both from Stockport. Their distillery is home to their 100L stainless steel column still and the pine needles in the gin are foraged by hand in Etherow Country Park. Having begun distilling in their garage at the home, in 2021 Paul and Cheryl opened their new distillery and shop in the centre of Stockport to offer gin tastings and tours.

The Gin Guide Review: Stockport Gin is a pleasingly classic gin with a core of traditional botanicals and citrus. It is fragrant on the nose with plentiful piney juniper, lemon peel and orange peel. On the palate there's more piney juniper to enjoy alongside the citrus, with a soft and rounded mouthfeel, and cardamom brings all the flavours together while cubeb offers cracked pepper spice in the finish. With tonic water the balance of piney juniper, citrus and cardamom continues and doesn't get lost in the tonic. It's a gin that is ideal for a classic G&T with a citrus garnish, and it's versatile for classic and contemporary gin cocktails alike. - Paul Jackson, 2020

Meet the Makers

"We are both born and bred in Stockport and met on a cold, wet weekend away in Torquay watching Stockport County. The rest, as they say, is history! As huge craft gin enthusiasts we always love to try local craft gin wherever we travel to. We soon came to realise that everywhere had their own gin ...apart from Stockport!" - Founders, Paul & Cheryl Sharrocks
