Henstone Distillery was established in Oswestry, Shropshire, United Kingdom in 2017 by Chris and Alexandra Toller. Following a restructure in 2023, Mike Harris acquired 50% and the company relocated to a farm on Long Mountain owned by him
Chris and Alex have been joined by two of their four children and have serious growth plans for the distillery. Henry joined in November 2021 as Sales Manager and then in October 2022 Florence joined as Distiller. The small team was then supplemented in April 2024 when Dave joined following the relocation to Dingle Farm and he is working with Flo in the production team. Already a great asset Dave is distilling and bottling on a daily basis.
The distillery is located at Dingle Farm, Trewern Shropshire, SY21 8EG - a wonderful rural location with its own water supply! The team spent several years planning their venture and after receiving a grant from the RDPE they installed an impressive 1000 litre still, affectionately named Hilda. Hilda was manufactured by Kothe in Germany..
