Drinks Distilled was founded by us, Nicola and James.

We love nothing more than mastering Margaritas at home, scouting out new bars and chatting to bartenders about their recommendations.

We’ve both been lucky enough to combine business with pleasure and are no strangers to the spirits industry.

Nicola previously worked in lifestyle and drinks PR for over a decade, and gained a Level 2 qualification in spirits from the Wine and Spirits Education Trust during that time. Meanwhile, James has worked across various drinks brands during his 10+ years in digital marketing.

Despite our experience, for both of us, selecting spirits, barware and drinkware for ourselves or friends has always been more than a tall order.

This is why we set up Drinks Distilled.

We've partnered with the UK's leading drinks experts, aka the Drinks Distilled Spirits Guides, to provide you with their must-have selections for your home bar.

From bartenders and bar owners to drinks writers, bloggers and judges, our Spirits Guides have tasted some of the best spirits the world has to offer. In our opinion, there’s nobody better to ask what their desert island bottles would be.

Taking the stuffiness out of spirits, each bottle is accompanied by our experts' personal insights into what makes them so stand out, alongside who they would appeal to and how they should be enjoyed. What’s more, each bottle comes complete with a free tasting notes and recipe card so you can keep our Spirits Guides' top tips close to hand.
