We pride ourselves on being a producer of small batch, hand-crafted artisan gin combining complex flavours from a wide range of botanicals to create unique flavour profiles
The Influence behind the BLACK CAT DISTILLERY… WE WERE INSPIRED BY THE CHARMING 18TH CENTURY TALE OF THE CREATIVE AND RESOURCEFUL ENTREPRENEUR, DUDLEY BRaDSTREET. THE 1736 GIN ACT MADE IT ILLEGAL FOR ANYONE TO SELL GIN IN QUANTITIES OF LESS THAN TWO GALLONS TO REDUCE THE EXCESSIVE GIN CONSUMPTION OF THE TIME. HE DEVISED A SCHEME TO DISCREETLY SELL GIN ON THE STREETS OF LONDON TAKING FULL ADVANTAGE OF THE LOOPHOLES IN THE GIN ACT, (YOU HAD TO ACTUALLY BE SEEN SELLING THE GIN) HE SOURCED A WOODEN BLACK CAT SIGN AND ADAPTED IT TO BECOME THE PRE-CURSOR TO THE FIRST VENDING MACHINE. GIN LOVERS WOULD APPROACH THE BLACK CAT SAYING ‘PUSS PUSS’ AND THE RESPONSE WOULD BE ‘MEW MEW’ WHICH INDICATED THAT GIN WAS AVAILABLE FOR SALE. THE MONEY WOULD BE INSERTED INTO THE CAT’S MOUTH AND THE GIN WOULD BE DISPENSED, THROUGH A METAL TUBE, UNDER THE CAT’S PAW. WE HAVE CREATED OUR OWN REPRESENTATION OF THE BLACK CAT DISPENSING MACHINE AS OUR LOGO.
