With nearly two decades working at Berry Bros. & Rudd and Waitrose Cellar, two of England's most respected wine and spirit merchants, I spent years sourcing and evaluating spirits from producers across the world. I hold the WSET Diploma (DipWSET), one of the most rigorous academic qualifications available in the wine and spirits industry.
That background is what led me to found Digital Distiller. I had witnessed something significant happening in English distilleries: a creativity and focus on quality that deserved much wider recognition. By reaching beyond the big brand names, you find a host of genuinely distinctive expressions across whisky, gin, rum and beyond.
Every bottle we stock has been personally selected. I visit distilleries, meet the makers, and taste extensively because your trust demands that level of care. When you buy from Digital Distiller, you're getting spirits I'd happily pour in my own home.
English spirits deserve better representation. Despite housing some of the world's most innovative distilleries, many exceptional English spirits remain unsung behind those with much larger corporate marketing budgets.
Curating the best of the best. We bridge that gap by connecting discerning drinkers with remarkable spirits that might otherwise go unnoticed. Every distillery we partner with shares our commitment to quality over quantity and craft over commerce.
Our mission is simple. Showcase England's finest spirits while supporting the passionate distillers creating them. When you choose Digital Distiller, you're joining a community that values craftsmanship, innovation, and authentic flavour.
