CHELMSFORD'S FIRST OPERATING DISTILLERY

WHO IS ESSEX SPIRITS CO.?

Founded in 2020, our aim is to create the finest in distilled spirits for the local Essex communities - we do this by incorporating years of hospitality experience, a zero waste sustainability ethos & the most cutting edge modern distillation methods to get the most out of our ingredients.

Essex Spirits Company was founded as a local business with a focus on supporting, championing and supplying the finest of the county's bars & restaurants as well as its population.

We currently operate from our central Chelmsford distillery that we affectionately call 'The Essex Distillery' - we would love to meet you in person as the distillery regularly holds public tours!

Join us for tasters, drinks and refills of your favourite Essex producers at Thirst Drinks Syndicate, under the Chelmsford Arches.

  • Citrus notes from lime & grapefruit
  • Made using natural Essex Spring water
  • Finished off with a pinch of local sea salt
