Our Story
Reviving the Art of Gin
Our story begins in 2016
Tappers is founded on a passion for producing spirits that are authentically made in the way that they’re advertised. We’re an independent family business and we hand-craft our spirits at our seaside home and Distillery on the Wirral Peninsula, near to the historic cities of Chester and Liverpool.
The quality of our range is a testament to our principles:
All-natural, vegan certified
We use only the finest of natural ingredients and have gone through the rigorous process to certify each and every one of them, and the resulting spirits we produce, as vegan with The Vegan Society.
Fiercely independent
With our 500L Holstein Still, Lena, we independently produce our spirits on-site, pouring our passion and care into every single bottle.
Genuinely artisan
Every bottle is filled, labelled, wax sealed and numbered by hand making each one truly special. We don't cut corners in anything we do.
Let us take you on a journey through time…
…to a world of clandestine parties and secret speakeasies. Our gin presents the rediscovery of a lost style of gin production using a process known as cold-compounding.
We have brought compound gin out of the Prohibition Era and into the 21st Century using artisanal methods and high-quality natural ingredients to deliver spirits that are distinctively complex and full of flavour.
Working to carefully designed botanical recipes, we ensure our spirits retain a deep complexity of aroma and a full flavoured body otherwise lost through distillation. Through delicate filtration, our spirits retain the intensity of their flavour and natural amber hue.
Imitation is the greatest form of flattery…
…but we don’t imitate, we innovate. We've always charted our own course and we let our spirits tell their stories. The botanicals we use reflect our British heritage and the natural world around us. With juniper at the heart of all we do, we’re steadfastly true to the very definition of a British gin. We don’t use artificial colours, flavourings or added sugar.
