Sloemotion

Sloemotion Distillery is a premium gin and liqueur producers based at Green Farm, in the village of Barton-le-Willows, just north of York. The business began nearly 20 years ago after carrying out work to help wildlife on the farm, resulting in a proliferation of sloes growing in the hedgerows; these provided the seed from which Sloemotion was born. From small beginnings the business has blossomed and continues to flourish today with Founder and Managing Director, Joff Curtoys at the helm with an award-winning team behind him. They began with their signature product, Sloe Gin; and over the last 10 years have extended their product lines to a broad range of hedgerow fruit liqueurs. It was those sloes that led them back to the hedges to gather the six novel hedgerow botanicals used in the Hedgerow Gin for their distillation, alongside the classic London dry gin botanicals. Hedgerow Gin was launched in 2017 followed swiftly in 2018 by Hedgerow Gin with Rhubarb & Raspberry and shortly after, Blackberry & Apple. The care that is taken with the hand-picked hedgerow botanicals, herbs & fruits that enhance their drinks is evident in every sip.

At Green Farm they use traditional steeping and blending methods in their production of the liqueurs as well as distilling the spirits using their iStill. With its low costs, and most importantly its’ environmental efficiency, the iStill works effortlessly at Green Farm bringing their craft distilling into the 21st century. The business believes that great taste combined with a strong aesthetic and respect for the environment is what sets them apart from the rest. The rural surroundings of fields, woodland and hedgerows around Green Farm are still the inspiration for development and growth of the business and are at the heart of every decision made. In line with their ‘Life on the Hedge’ motto, Sloemotion Distillery continues to innovate and inspire with their new creations.  For your safety and the safety of the Sloemotion Distillery Team, visits to Green Farm are by appointment only.
