Launched in 2016, Spitfire Heritage Distillers set out on a journey to create the finest Gin and Vodka in Britain. In paying tribute to the Spitfire, one has a responsibility to aim high, to be the best. Excellence being a prerequisite for all that they do.
Based in a 300-year-old barn in Cambridgeshire the air of which is infused by the delicious botanicals of their SPITFIRE HERITAGE GIN. Rosemary for remembrance, Borage for courage, Blood Orange for the fallen, English Rose Petals for the ATA girls alongside Juniper, Almonds, Coriander and Star Anise combine to create a wonderfully aromatic Gin.
As a Single Estate Distillery first they plant a crop of sugar beet which they harvest, take into the barn and distil in hand-beaten copper pot stills to create SUPERMARINE Vodka. A delicious creamy smooth vodka with hints of vanilla and a clean icewine finish.
To this perfect vodka, the botanicals are added then redistilled to create the finest of Botanical Gins. In the Spirit of the Spitfire created to be the best.
The brand pays tribute to the ladies of the ATA who delivered aircraft across the British Isles throughout WWII.
The distillery supports the work of the Spitfire Heritage Trust and was part of an expedition to locate, excavate and repatriate a rarest of breed PRU Spitfire from a mountain in Norway. The rebuild to flight of Spitfire AA810 is now well underway, the aircraft is expected to be making its first flight in 80 years and gracing the air show circuit in 2022.
No other distiller can claim to have found and restored a Spitfire. That really is something to consider whilst enjoying the finest tipple in Britain.
Be proud of your Spitfire Heritage...Chin Chin Darling!
