Proudly sporting our newly awarded “Great Taste ⭐️ ⭐️” doesn’t make the Blacksmiths SP taste any greater than it already is. But for us it’s acknowledgement of just how great it really does taste, and how this lucky accident has become such a wonderful success.

Here’s to lucky accidents 🥂

A lovely Gin

Northern Fables- Laidly Wyrm Gin

10 carefully selected botanicals are expertly combined in our Blacksmiths Hall Distillery to bring you a beautifully crafted gin that mixes well with all tonics, and also a ginger ale.

Whether be ye Princess, Dragon or Hero you cannot fail to be enchanted by this superbly crafted gin, blending the finest natural botanicals and crystal clear Northumberland water

Each bottle carries a QR code which, when scanned with a smart phone, gives you the full tale of the fable.

Bamburgh was voted Best Seaside Destination in the UK for the fourth year running in the annual Which? Survey! 💛❤️

Read about it here: https://nland.pulse.ly/ala2ayz3wk

From attractions such as amazing Bamburgh Castle to smaller, lesser-known RNLI Grace Darling Museum, food and drink from fantastic seafood at The Potted Lobster to locally-sourced beach snacks from Bait at Beadnell, and of course staggering views and the Northumberland Coast Path on the doorstep, it is no wonder that Bamburgh is voted the top seaside destination time and time again.

The second of our Northern Fables range, The Queen of Elphame is the queen of the elves and fairies. She is known to have kidnapped lone riders in the Scottish Borders and to have kept them for her personal pleasures. Sadly she seems to be less active in the area these day, however we have created this delicious smooth gin in her memory using Scottish heather, thistle and bog myrtle. We're sure you'll love her as much as we do. 😍🥰🍹
