Cornwall’s Spirit of Innovation

Emerging from winter’s slumber, Rock Distillery unveils bold spirits, new designs and expansion.

Rock Distillery emerges from winter with the energy of a spring tide, its stores refreshed, its spirits flowing, and its reputation rising like the Cornish sun. This boutique distillery, based in Wadebridge, has long been synonymous with quality, but recent developments – including a celebrated appearance on Love Your Weekend with Alan Titchmarsh – have propelled it further into the spotlight.

The show’s mixologist, Andy Clarke, crafted a cocktail with Rock Distillery’s Banana Blast Rum and Toffee Vodka Liqueur, a concoction reminiscent of a Banana Bon Bon. The reaction was immediate: online orders surged as curious connoisseurs sought to recreate the experience. This fusion of nostalgia and indulgence encapsulates what Rock Distillery does best – balancing innovation with an unmistakable sense of place.

Beyond television acclaim, Rock Distillery has been quietly but determinedly expanding its reach. With five shops across Cornwall and a new outpost in Wiltshire, the distillery’s presence is growing almost as quickly as its product range. Visitors stepping into one of these stores find themselves immersed in a world of expertly crafted spirits: an extensive selection of gins, robust rums, velvety whiskies and vibrant vodkas. Apple brandy and brandy liqueurs provide the perfect way to round off an evening, each bottle infused with Rock Distillery’s signature commitment to natural ingredients and pure taste.

Alongside the spirits, the distillery offers glassware designed to enhance the drinking experience, each piece as refined as the liquid it holds. New designs are on the horizon, promising collectors and enthusiasts another reason to return. Meanwhile, cocktail aficionados can now purchase a striking copper cocktail compendium – a set designed to bring professional flair to home mixology.

As Rock Distillery steps into spring, there’s a palpable sense of momentum. With its unwavering dedication to craft and an ever-growing audience, this Cornish distillery is proving that excellence is best served with a measure of ambition – and perhaps a Banana Bon Bon in hand.
