CONSULTANCY
HELPING BUSINESSES BUILD EXCEPTIONAL SPIRITS PROGRAMMES
Developing a spirit is both a creative and technical process. From recipe development to production realities, each decision influences the character and credibility of the final product.
​
As a working distiller, I offer practical consultancy for individuals and businesses looking to develop, refine, or better understand their spirits. My role is not simply to advise, but to bring real distilling experience to the table.
Consultancy projects vary widely, but may include support with:
​
• Spirits recipe development and flavour architecture
• Botanical selection and balancing
• Refining or developing a spirit style
• Translating flavour ideas into practical distilling processes
• Production considerations and scaling
• Early-stage distillery or brand concepts
• Independent distiller’s perspective on spirit style and direction
• Professional tasting and assessment of spirits or casks, including work for commercial platforms and auction houses
Every project is different, and the most valuable work often begins with a conversation about the idea behind the spirit.
Consultancy may be of interest to:
​
• Entrepreneurs developing a new spirits brand
• Distilleries refining or expanding a product range
• Hospitality groups exploring bespoke spirits
• Commercial platforms requiring independent tasting expertise
The aim is always the same: to support the creation of spirits that are distinctive, credible, and technically sound.
​
If you would like to discuss a project, explore an idea, or seek an independent perspective on a spirit, I would be very pleased to hear from you.
