Berkshire Botanical increases production capacity with new gin distillery

Berkshire Botanical has announced the opening of its own dedicated distillery at Child’s Court Farm on the Yattendon Estate.

Founded in 2019 by Whitley Neill founder Johnny Neill, the Berkshire Botanical range was originally crafted on a small still at the Royal Oak pub in Yattendon. The new site, The Yattendon Distillery, boasts a brand new 200 litre copper pot still, significantly increasing the production capacity for the brand’s growing product portfolio.


The range includes Berkshire Botanical Dry Gin, Rhubarb & Raspberry Gin, Honey & Orange Blossom Gin, Dandelion & Burdock and Sloe Gin.

The distiller said it continues to take inspiration from the flora and fauna of the local area and sources local ingredients where possible. The Norway Spruce in its award-winning Dry Gin is from the Yattendon Estate, and the honey in its Honey & Orange Blossom Gin from local producer, Cooper’s Honey, in Maidenhead.

“Since launching Berkshire Botanical, we’ve always wanted to open up a larger distillery on the Yattendon Estate, so it’s brilliant to finally be up and running,” Johnny Neill, founder of Berkshire Botanical, commented.

“It’s been a really exciting few years for us, as we have focused on producing a quality range, as well as increasing distribution and sales both in the UK and globally. The range has already won a raft of accolades at key industry awards, including the recent Gin Trophy for our Dry Gin at this year’s International Spirits Challenge, as the highest scoring London Dry in the competition. With the opening of the Yattendon Distillery, we now look forward to welcoming people to our brand home, and further growing the Berkshire Botanical range”.

Berkshire Botanical continues to work closely alongside the Berkshire, Bucks and Oxon Wildlife Trust, providing investment to support wildlife conservation projects in the Berkshire area.
