Our Story

Nestled in the scenic embrace of the Yorkshire Dales, our small distillery, established in 2016, is a family-owned venture run by twin brothers James and Richard Thompson. Rooted in a legacy of both time-honoured craftsmanship and forward-thinking innovation, our distillery and the setting that inspires it embody a rich heritage which we infuse into all we do.

The Kettlesing Way
These are the values that serve as our guiding principles in everything we do.
Craft
For us, everything comes from to a respect for craftsmanship. Everything we create, from selecting the finest botanicals to a reverence for classic methods, is led by our artisanal approach and a promise that our exacting standards will never be compromised.
Integrity
We treat the people we work with and the products we create together with the utmost care and respect. We believe in good communication and paying attention to the smallest details.
Family
Our business was founded by head of the family, Ian Thompson, and Kettlesing is now run by his twin sons, James & Richard Thompson. For us, family means everything, and we treat our clients as one of our own. It’s why so many choose to work with us time and again. Cheers!
