New Forest Spirits

About

Based in the heart of the New Forest at Hangersley near Ringwood and established in 2018, New Forest Spirits is the first distillery to be located within the New Forest Park’s boundary. All our hand-crafted, award winning ‘Wyrd’ range of gins are distilled and bottled at our site, using New Forest spring water, British grain spirit and high-quality botanical ingredients sourced both locally and from around the world.

With over 30 years’ experience as a trained chemist, Head Distiller Mark knows a thing or two about blending flavours to create the perfect product. Uncover how his scientific knowledge combined with a skill for balancing flavours and passion for gin, makes this the most unique Distillery Tour experience in the New Forest.

You will be expertly guided through the process of how Wyrd Gin is handcrafted in small batches, using a perfect blend of fine grain spirit, pure New Forest spring water and specially selected botanicals, discovering the secret to our beautifully smooth, classic style of gin.

This tour gives you the opportunity to find out more about our unique recipes first-hand with the chance to taste our full range of gins, the perfect way to enjoy your time in the beautiful New Forest.

Our distillery tours are approximately 90 minutes in duration. Each ticket includes a gin and tonic or a soft drink to enjoy on arrival (or one to takeaway for the designated driver) and plenty of samples to try!
