Hepple Sloe & Hawthorn Gin

With over 4000 acres of remote land to explore, Hepple hosts rich biodiversity that lends to our botanicals offering some of the best flavours out there.

We have the cleanest waters in England to nourish our plants, with babbling brooks feeding into tranquil ponds surrounded by lovage and blackcurrants. Gusting winds force our bog myrtle and Douglas firs to root deep into the earth to take hold, while wild horses, cows, pigs and stags churn up the ground so that our juniper trees can take root. Over a fifth of juniper found in Northumberland National Park resides in Hepple, which we exclusively harvest.

As our distillery is on our estate, the botanicals we harvest are fresh and picked at their prime, ensuring that the flavours and aromas of Hepple fill every bottle we produce.

To ensure that we return the land back to its past glory, the Hepple Juniper Trust was set up to help replenish the UK’s juniper trees. Support by the National Park and Natural England, we’ve planted over 60 juniper trees, growing towards our long-term target of having 2000 trees planted, so that we’ll have plenty of juniper (and gin!) for generations to come.

 Every year participants of the Trust plant their juniper saplings before naming and geotagging them. The newly planted trees stand alongside some of our ancient juniper groves. Gender for the juniper isn’t revealed until the trees are 15 years old, which is when we find out how many females we have to start producing berries.
