It is now part of the old gravel pits to west of the village popular with walkers and country cycle enthusiasts. Although the distillery has since moved from Wheathampstead to the Luton Hoo Country Estate a few miles away, we still maintain strong links with the village as the family still live, and are active members of the local community. Black Bridge distillery was officially formed in 2017 by two friends Ash & Luke, with one shared passion, Moonshine. Having over a decade in the moonshine scene, Ash was persuaded to take the recipes, flavours and unique approach to distillates into the commercial sphere where immediately the products started winning awards. The business officially ran its first bottles of moonshine off the still in April 2017 to great success and our Still ‘Katherine’, continues to produce an array of spirits for the Black Bridge Distillery and the people of Hertfordshire. ASH’S STORY The dream of opening a distillery and making spirits had been my dream for over 15 years. Initially life within the Royal Navy Submarine Service prevented such a dream been establishing as I was never here in the UK long enough to start a business. Having saved for over ten years, met my Fiancée and had our son, it became clear that if we were to pursue this dream we needed to stop dreaming and start working! I got to work and designed a 350 ltr Stainless Steel and Copper Still with the aim of creating a modular system capable of being modified very easily dependent upon the type of spirit wanted. I contracted an associate for the build and testing and within 3 months we had our still ‘Katherine’. Now operating from the newly refurbished facility at the Luton Hoo Country Estate we produce literally thousands of bottles a week for lots of different clients and brands, chances are you’ve already tried our gin and never knew… To serve – The result is a wonderfully complex fresh gin which pairs fantastically well with clean light tonic. As this is purely experimental we will not be replicating and only 40 bottles exist in the world. We will leave it up to you to find your perfect serve.
