Our Story

Founded in 2012 on Cornwall’s dramatic coastline, Redhaven Distillery was built on a simple idea: great gin should reflect where it comes from. The environment shapes everything we do: sea air moves inland, hardy botanicals grow in tough conditions and life by the coast encourages care, patience and focus.

Name

The name emerged from the landscape itself. Red for the iron-rich cliffs and weathered stone that define Cornwall's coast. Haven for the sheltered inlets where boats anchor and communities gather. Together, they capture what the distillery aims to create: bold character tempered by approachability.

Founders

Three co-founders from different backgrounds (business, culinary arts and design) came together around a shared love of well-made spirits and thoughtful craftsmanship. Each brings a distinct perspective, shaping everything from how flavours are developed to how the brand is expressed.

Location

The distillery draws endless inspiration from its surroundings ; the rugged coastline, wild hedgerows and salt-kissed Cornish air that define the region's character.

Our Process

Craft

Custom-built copper pot stills, designed and optimised in-house, allow us to draw out the fullest character from every carefully selected botanical. Their shape and size are tailored to give us precise control during distillation, helping preserve delicate aromas while building depth. This approach lets us fine-tune each batch, ensuring consistency without losing the subtle nuances that make their spirits distinctive.

Botanicals

Classic British juniper, locally foraged Cornish herbs, wild coastal botanicals and premium ingredients sourced across the UK. Each botanical is chosen not just for flavour, but for the story it tells about Cornwall’s landscape and heritage. By combining these carefully selected elements, we create a balanced, aromatic profile that is both distinctive and true to the region.

Production Capacity

Small-batch production of 500-750 bottles per run, ensuring quality control and consistency across our entire range. This hands-on approach allows us to monitor every step, from distillation to bottling, so each batch meets our exacting standards. It also gives us the flexibility to experiment subtly with flavours, keeping our spirits vibrant and unique while maintaining their signature character.
