From seasonal gins to limited-edition vodkas, the North East is quietly going about the business of producing a range of spirits that rival the very best.

When all of the botanicals come together, they provide a truly fragrant finish.

They even use Newcastle City water to take down the final new spirit from 85 percent to a strong (but hearty) 43 percent. Distilled with nine botanicals, juniper, sumac, orange peel, hibiscus, rose petals, coriander and three secret ingredients that can’t be revealed.We might be some time off being able to sample the Northumbrian Single Malt from what is to be Northumberland's first commercial whisky distillery but it surely will be worth the wait.
