THE HISTORY OF GREENALL’S
Handcrafted by England’s oldest gin distillery, Greenall’s Gin remains true to our founder’s vision to create the first quality crafted gin. Greenall’s has been proudly distilled for over 260 years through the craftsmanship of seven generations of master distillers.
1761
THE JOURNEY BEGINS
Greenall’s founder Thomas Dakin began distilling his original gin, at the age of 25, and founded what would become the oldest gin distillery in England.
1860
G&J GREENALL’S WAS BORN
The Dakin family leased their distillery to Gilbert and John Greenall and was purchased by them ten years later.
1960
DEMAND FOR GIN ACCELERATES
Due to an increase in gin’s popularity, the distillery moved to a larger site opposite the Greenall’s Brewery. The following decades saw tremendous growth in the company.
2005
G&J GREENALL’S DISTILLERY DESTROYED BY FIRE
A new home for the team and the distillery opened in 2008 at the Birchwood site where Greenall’s is still produced today.
2011
QUINTESSENTIAL BRANDS GROUP IS FOUNDED
G&J Greenall’s becomes part of the international drinks group called Quintessential Brands.
2012 – TODAY
GREENALL’S CONTINUES TO DRIVE GROWTH
G&J Distillers wins the International Spirits Challenge “Gin producer of the year” 4 out of the past 5 years.
Greenall’s Gin continues to drive double digit growth year-on-year and performs ahead of the total category globally.
THE PROCESS
MASTERS OF OUR CRAFT
Our entire process of crafting Greenall’s Gin is overseen by our 7th Master Distiller, Joanne Moore. Joanne, along with our masters of craft, focus on crafting exceptional new gins for the Greenall’s portfolio and ensuring every batch is produced to perfection including each botanical being weighed and placed into the distillery’s beautiful copper stills by hand.
2THE DISTILLATION
Using steam, the liquid is heated until it vaporises, taking all the essential oils and aromas of the botanicals. The vapour is cooled, condensed, and collected as a concentrated spirit.
3THE HEARTS
Only the ‘heart’ of the distillate is chosen to create our gin. Any residual liquids (the ‘heads’ and the ‘tails’) which are created at the start and the end of the process are discarded.
1THE INGREDIENTS
Before the distillation begins the botanicals are added by hand to our copper still along with a mixture of grain neutral spirit and water sourced from the foothills of the local Cheshire Plains. The botanicals are then rested in the spirit and water to allow the flavours to infuse.

FOREVER THE HOLY TRINITY
The backbone to Greenall’s Gin
MATURE CITRUS
Lemon & Coriander
Spain is well known for growing ‘table lemons’ which are sold widely throughout the UK and Germany and are what we would expect to find in our gin and tonic at home.
ROUND JUNIPER
The berries are handpicked by shaking the branches of the juniper bush, which are pruned to encourage low, width growth which makes picking easier. The berries that are ripe and ready will fall from the branches, whereas the un-ripened berries will remain for the following harvest.
WARM, EARTHY, SAVOURY SPICE
Angelica root, Almond, Liquorice, Cassia & Orris
Angelica root gives the woody earthy flavours where the powders of Almond, liquorice, Cassia and Orris help with the warm spicy finish.

TASTY TIPS.
Next time you’re enjoying Greenall’s Gin consider these simple tips for a more sustainable drink:
TIP 1 KEEP IT LOCAL
Take advantage of Britain’s seasonal larder for delicious garnishes with low food miles. Enhance the natural flavours in Greenall’s gin with blackberries and elderflower in summer and rosemary or thyme in winter.
TIP 2 GRIND THE RIND
Next time you’re cooking with lemons or lime, peel the rind before you juice. Use these zesty strips to brighten the flavour and colour in your G&T.
TIP 3 DRIED GARNISHES
Dehydrating fruit means you’ll always have a garnish to hand, and it’s a great way to preserve ripe fruit. Simply bake sliced citrus or apples on a low heat and enjoy the scent in your home.
TIP 4 LEMONS THAT LAST
Never run out of ice again! Freeze wedges of lemon, lime, or orange so they double as an ice-cube and flavour infusion.
