A group of friends happen on a gorgeous location known as the Silent Pool, deep in the Surrey hills, an area of outstanding beauty. They convert dilapidated farm buildings into a working distillery with a restored vintage wood-fired steam boiler powering a hand-built copper still. They source local ingredients, exotic botanicals, and experiment with all kinds of recipes - sometimes failing, forever seeking, always refusing to compromise on quality. Until finally, they create a gin of rare taste and beauty. They christen it after its place of birth. Immediately popular with locals, Silent Pool Gin quickly acquires new fans, a large social following and rafts of industry awards, amassing an enviable reputation across the world.
