Wildjac Distillery
We create premium botanical spirits with natural ingredients foraged from the Wyre Forest and surrounding land. We carefully hand pick, select and blend the finest botanicals to ensure the most amazing drinking experience for consumers. We are continually striving, learning and experimenting to bring out the perfect small-batched seasonal limited editions to showcase the very best of our surroundings.
Based in the heart of the Wyre Forest and nestled above six and a half thousand acres of British oak, silver birch and Douglas fir trees, the history of the forest gave us the inspiration for Wildjac. For much of prehistory, it was a ‘wildwood’, and you will still find rowan, hazel and ash among the oaks today.
‘Prudence’ is our beautiful Still, named after a famous ‘Severn Trow’ cargo boat that sailed botanicals and spices to our local port of Bewdley in the early 19th Century. Evolving Traditional Distilling techniques and embracing state of the art technology, we have been able to reduce our carbon foot print and produce truly sustainable, eco-friendly spirits.
We are constantly working to source the very highest quality botanicals and spices. Our passion is for homegrown and locally foraged ingredients from deep in the forest, this is where we are at our happiest. Douglas Fir from the forest and Lemon balm from our garden, the natural world around us influences and inspires us.
Our spirits are inspired by the flavours of the English countryside, with core ingredients both foraged and local, where possible. We feel that relationships with local producers is key to this sustainable supply chain which ensures quality.
All spirits are crafted within 100% post-consumer recycled glass bottles featuring recycled sugarcane labels, FSC-certified wood stoppers and biodegradable closures. We also have our alternative innovative packaging, the Frugal bottles.
Charities has been part of our ethos from the beginning. Part of the 1% For The Planet programme, Wildjac donates 1% of all turnover back to charities and organisations including Worcestershire Wildlife Trust, and Wyre Community Land Trust.
