Crafted with Care: Sustainable Gin & Spirits from Cumbria

At Shed One Distillery, sustainability isn’t a trend-it’s who we are. Based in Ulverston, Cumbria, we’re proud to produce award-winning sustainable gin and spirits in small batches, championing the idea that even a micro business can have a mighty impact.

From our beginnings in our garden shed, we’ve embraced eco-friendly practices at every turn. All our packaging is recycled, recyclable, reusable and compostable. We've even invested in a cardboard shredder to repurpose materials for shipping. And after years of searching, we now bottle many of our spirits in 100% recycled glass.

We’re continually evolving. Whether it’s designing and installing a closed-loop cooling system to save water during distillation, switching to a verified green website host, or foraging locally for botanicals, every decision is guided by our commitment to people and planet. Our Afternoon G&Teas use vintage crockery and linens sourced from charity shops, and even our marmalade is made using fresh citrus fruit, as we only need the fresh zest for gin production—proceeds from which go into our Marmalade Fund, supporting local charities.

Our ingredients are thoughtfully sourced. We use traditional, locally-grown and foraged botanicals. Our Festive Bramble Gin Elixir includes foraged blackberries and locally grown heritage apples and fruits. It's won awards in both the World Gin Awards and the World Liqueur Awards. Our Ulverston and Ulverston '23 gins were made with botanicals foraged within a mile of Shed One Distillery. We are starting to forage for our Ulverston '25 gin.

More than just gin...

Shed One Distillery is more than just gin. We also create craft vodka and botanical spirits, including our award-winning Quince Botanical Spirit. Every drop reflects our ethos: innovative, responsible, and rooted in community.
