Meet the Maker of Goldings Gins

David Tait and Gazebo.JPG

Created by a pharmacist with a passion for gin. Science and art have collided to produce these truly exceptional small batch artisan gins.

​

My fully licensed distillery is based in my home village of Stoke Golding, Leicestershire.  I use traditional methods to create my unique London Dry gins.

 

Each bottle is individually produced by hand, with precision and care, in batches of no more than 40 bottles at a time.

 

After 32 years of working as an NHS pharmacist, I retired from the day job in March 2024.  You don’t need to be a pharmacist to make gin, but it has certainly helped me.  

 

I started enjoying gin back in 2008 and a few years later I started dreaming of making my own gin. My aim was to launch a distillery that would eventually carry me forwards into retirement, after a long and fulfilling career in the NHS.

 

In 2017 I went on a  course on how to open a gin distillery, and then the business planning began.  I got my first licences in 2019 allowing me to start recipe development. The pandemic meant I had to focus on the NHS day job, meaning I wasn’t ready to launch my Signature London Dry Gin until March 2022.

 

My gins are juniper forwards and complex.  I combine my scientific reasoning with creativity and flair, and a lot of experimentation, to make a gin that is part of me.  

 

I don’t expect everyone to like my gin, but I do hope that you will love it as much as I do.
