No.1 Fairham Gin was launched in 2021 by friends and founders Liam Stemson & Ellis McKeown at the ages of just 24 and 25 respectively. Having begun developing the recipe in 2020 using a 3L still in an outbuilding on Fairham Avenue, this gave the gin its name ahead of moving to a small unit and purchasing a 60L copper pot still. Liam and Ellis have also partnered with the Ribble Rivers Trust with a commitment for a tree sapling to be planted in Lancashire for every bottle of No.1 Fairham Gin sold.
Meet the Makers

"We were researching and testing how to distil and as we knew we wanted to include exotic fruits, some of which that are not commonly used to make gin, this made it even more difficult to be able to get the balance right in a recipe. We were stubborn and were willing to wait as long as it would take, so fast forward 12 months and we finally reached our finished product and our Signature Edition was released in April 2021." - Founders, Ellis McKeown & Liam Stemson
