Cuckoo Gin

Holmes Farm near Chorley has been in the Singleton family since 1930, but Gerard and Cath were looking to diversify in 2016. Having noticed a few other farm-based gins popping up, they were intrigued.

Teaming up with their son-in-law Mark Long, who had a background in the food industry, the trio launched Brindle Distillery in 2017, with the business now home to the multi award-winning Cuckoo Gin, one of Lancashire’s finest.

Distilled using fresh spring water from the aquifer on the farm, Cuckoo Gin is flavoured using ingredients either grown at Holmes Farm, or sourced sustainably and ethically from around the world.
