Thunderflower Distillery

Thunderflower is a micro-distillery on Mercury Business Park just outside Exeter, where botanical flavours are extracted by delicate vapour infusion and only pure Dartmoor spring water is added to the final spirit. The distillery runs on 100% renewable energy, distilling on solar with minimal water wastage.

The range has the awards to back it up: FireShip 58 was voted England's Best Navy Strength Gin and English Orchard took England's Best Signature Botanical Gin, alongside the Devon Dry. Regular distillery tours, gin tastings and events run through the year, and they are the right way to see how an operation this size gets that much into a bottle.
