We are a working Distillery, Shop, Bar and Gin School. Our Distillery is open to view, and you can purchase the gin we make onsite. We operate a fully licensed bar, and are open to the public all year round.
Nestled in a Grade II listed, former stable block in the thriving market town of Malton, known as ‘the food capital’ of Yorkshire, we are proud to be part of the growing artisan movement so prevalent in this area.
‘Florence’, is our 300 litre copper still, which we designed ourselves. Her luminous dome shape, reminiscent of the Duomo, influenced her name. She sits proudly in the centre, right at the heart of the distillery, and is the means by which every single bottle of Rare Bird gin is crafted.
Rare Bird Distillery’s Gin School
Here at Rare Bird Distillery, North Yorkshire’s first Gin School, we want to share the knowledge of distilling. Head over to the distillery to learn all about how we make our luxurious Gin. By the end of class you’ll have made your own bespoke bottle of London dry gin, for you to enjoy at home.
This experience is unique, you’ll be learning how to make gin from our master distiller Matt who makes it for the best bars and restaurants in Yorkshire. Each bottle of Rare Bird gin is made on site, and at this experience you’ll get a behind the scenes look at how we do it.
Our Gin school, which sits above the distillery, hosts 8 people for sessions to make your own gin.
