Every rescued bread mash starts with taking bread out of plastic and checking there is no mould or meat. We couldn’t do it without our lovely volunteers who help out unpacking, checking and loading 200kg per batch. Around 4 loaves go into every litre of our finished spirits! And we send the plastic off to the soft plastic recyclers to boot. Taste the difference a genuinely sustainable spirit makes!

This much bread goes into every bottle of our spirits. Come on a distillery tour to learn how we do it and see how we’re saving 200kg of bread from landfill every week.
