Bespoke gin

Here at The Tarbay Botanist HQ we provide a complete service for anyone wanting to create their own gin brand but without the knowledge and cost of a distillery. Ideal for pubs or retailers and we can offer a minimum amount of 1 batch of 30 bottles!

Before starting the wonderful journey of creating a new gin we need to make sure that the supplier (you) are fully licensed so we can complete our due dilligence checks. 

 You will need to have an AWRS license before we can supply you with any alcoholic beverages. Also if you are bottling the gin then you will need to register for duty paid stamps (these are the pink stamps on every bottle of spirit above 30% and 300ml)

Duty Stamps -  https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/excise-notice-ds5-uk-duty-stamps-scheme/excise-notice-ds5-uk-duty-stamps-scheme

Once compliant you will now get to the good bit - tasting! We will make a range of flavours depending on what you want the gin to taste like and then sit down and work out the perfect balance of botanicals ready for batch distilling.

Having worked out the flavour of your gin you will now be ready for the hand over. We do offer a bottling service for a small cost (all bottles will need to be labeled before we fill them) or can deliver in 5 litre containers. Both options are delivered at your required ABV.

At the distillery we always have a lot going on so there are some areas that this option will not provide a service for:

We do not create your design.

We do not print or attach your labels to your bottles.

We do not market your gin

We will not sell your gin 

We will not copy your flavour profile

First of all we will need to know exactly what you want you gin for. Whether its for selling in a pub, shop or for a school fundraiser. This can be done on the phone or in person so we can get an idea of the direction your bespoke gin will be headed.

This is the exciting part where we work together to make an exciting flavoured gin for you. It may well be that you would like a specific botanical in your gin or  just happy for us to work on a recipe for you, either way the bespoke gin will need to be tasted and checked before starting the batch which we can do at your premises or we can post to you.

Now that the gin is ready you'll need to choose a bottle size and shape as well as design a label. This will be done through our designer and once happy with the look it will be sent to our printers ready for attaching.

Once we have the finished labels we will attach them to your chosen bottles and box up the batch, then deliver it to you. Simple!
