Pendle Witch Distillery

Overlooked by Pendle Hill, Pendle Witch Distillery was created by David Moore, from Clitheroe, who was inspired to start a distilling liquor after watching an American programme called Moonshiners. After watching the series, David and his father decided to start making whisky themselves and built their own still in a shed at home. Impressed by the quality of the whisky they were able to create, they had a vision to build a full scale distillery.

They produce small batch, single malt whiskies including a smoky Islay-style and a smooth Speyside-style, as well as a Bourbon-style liquor made with 50% corn, and small-barrel Moonshine Straight whisky.

Locally born and bred in the Ribble Valley, Head Distiller David Moore has long held a passion for the area and the history associated with it.

The distillery is a true family run venture. Younger son Robert is training to be a professional distiller, whilst David’s wife Sharon runs the shop on site.
