Distilling Knowledge
Liam Hawthorn
The site, which once housed the famous Elswick Shot Tower, is now the home of Newcastle Gin & Co and their master distiller. The company will produce their local gin and will work alongside a gin school and a community still house. The community still house is a new attraction for the city, in which visitors are guided on a distilling experience, where they get to make their own flavoured gin. An annual harvest is also celebrated on the site, in which the public come together and pick juniper berries for their own batches of gin.
