Our Story

After a challenge from our wives back in 2015, The Wrecking Coast Distillery came to be, and it’s been a personal passion project for us ever since.

Born in Tintagel, our philosophy remains the same: create spirits we enjoy using local ingredients that give the nod to our Cornish roots.

To make our award-winning creations, we use a unique blend of cutting edge still technology and a more bespoke, hands-on approach.

We believe it’s this balance of approach and close attention to detail that makes all the difference when creating our distinctive spirits. It’s this passion that means we can proudly say “we made that”

Born in Tintagel. Born to be enjoyed.

What to call our very own distillery?

It started with the desire for an identity that was rooted in the area where our gin was born: Tintagel, Cornwall. Tintagel resides in an area known as The Wrecking Coast, a name we have embraced.

In the height of summer, with its soft southerly winds, clear blue skies and almost tropical aquamarine seas, The Wrecking Coast is idyllic. In the depths of winter, with 30-foot waves crashing relentlessly against the towering slate and granite cliffs, the true power and majesty of raw nature is awe inspiring.

To capture this, we commissioned local artist and Camelford Gallery owner, John Blight, to provide us with the unique piece of art that appears on our labels.
