The Edge Distillery
The Edge Distillery in Cheshire was established in 2018 by former cruise ship entertainers Clare and Mike Ryan. The husband and wife team launched their London Dry Gin the same year and use four column head stills that can each produce 80 bottles per run. The gin's name and branding are inspired by the local Cheshire legend of the Wizard of Alderley Edge, and the distillery offers tours, tastings and Gin School experiences.

  • Serving Suggestions: Gin & Tonic with a garnish of Lemon Peel or Pink Grapefruit, or in a Negroni.
  • Tasting Notes: Aromas of juniper, vibrant citrus and hints of earthiness and star anise. On the palate, juniper, anise, citrus and goji berry sweetness. A lingering finish of citrus and earthy soft spice of cinnamon, anise and nutmeg.
The Gin Guide Review:  The Edge Gin combines classic and contemporary flavours in a charming gin with a smooth and soft mouthfeel and well executed flavour transitions. On the palate, The Edge Gin takes you from juniper and citrus upfront to goji berry sweetness which is then balanced by spice from cassia, nutmeg and star anise as they carry you into the finish alongside citrus notes and coriander seeds. It makes for a light, contemporary and moreish G&T with juniper, citrus, goji berry sweetness and soft dry spice continuing to take the limelight when mixed, and citrus fruits make for ideal G&T starting points. ​- Paul Jackson, 2020

Meet the Makers

"We are from Alderley Edge and we fell in love with the local legend of The Wizard of Alderley Edge. He was thought to have been Merlin and his image is carved on a rock face above a well in the National Trust forest called The Edge. Under the carving is an inscription that reads "Drink of this and take thy fill, for the water falls by the wizard's will". We have the wizard's face on the front of our bottle and we've added the inscription although we swapped the water for Gin... we're sure the Wizard would have enjoyed a G&T!" - Founders, Clare & Mike Ryan
