Norfolk Crafted, Norfolk Distilled, Norfolk Spirits

Celebrating the best of local gin, vodka, whisky, rum & liqueurs

Spirits made & crafted in Norfolk

Norfolk's drinks story doesn't end with vineyards and breweries.

Across the county, independent distillers and spirit makers are producing everything from classic dry gin and vodka to English whisky, rum and an increasingly diverse collection of liqueurs.

At The Norfolk Deli, our alcoholic drinks have one simple rule: if it's not made in Norfolk, we don't sell it.

That means you can explore spirits from different Norfolk producers in one place, discover different styles and flavours, and put bottles from several makers into a single order.

That means you can explore wines from vineyards across the county in one place – compare different producers, discover different grape varieties and styles, and perhaps find a Norfolk wine you hadn't encountered before.

What kind of Norfolk spirit are you looking for?

Whether you know exactly what you're after or simply want to discover what Norfolk's spirit makers are producing, start with the spirit.

GIN

From classic, juniper-led dry gins to contemporary citrus, floral and flavoured expressions, Norfolk's independent gin makers demonstrate just how much variety can exist within one spirit.

WHISKY

Norfolk played an important role in the revival of English whisky. Discover single malt whiskies ranging from approachable, fruit-led expressions to smoky, sherry-cask and limited releases.

RUM

From golden and dark rums to contemporary spiced expressions, Norfolk spirit makers are putting their own stamp on a drink traditionally associated with rather warmer parts of the world.

VODKA

Clean and classic doesn't necessarily mean characterless. Discover vodka from Norfolk producers, including traditional unflavoured spirits and contemporary flavoured expressions.

LIQUEURS

Fruit, botanicals, herbs, spices and other flavours make liqueurs one of the most diverse parts of Norfolk's spirits scene – made for sipping, mixing, cocktails and gifting.


Why Norfolk for Spirits?

There isn't one simple answer – and that's part of what makes Norfolk spirits interesting.

Whisky has a particularly strong connection with the county's agricultural landscape. Norfolk is one of Britain's great barley-growing areas, providing a natural starting point for a spirit made from malted grain.

Gin is a different story. Here, the individuality comes from the distiller's choice and balance of juniper and other botanicals.

Vodka puts the emphasis on the base spirit, distillation and purity, while rum allows producers to explore blending, ageing, spices and flavour. Liqueurs open the possibilities even further.

Unlike wine, where the vineyard provides an obvious connection between the land and the bottle, provenance in spirits can mean different things for different producers.

That's why we think the people behind the bottle – and what they actually do here in Norfolk – matter.

Meet Norfolk's Distillers

Norfolk's independent spirit producers have very different stories.

Some distil their spirits here in the county. Others work with different processes including ageing, blending, infusing or flavouring to create their finished products.

Rather than pretending they're all doing the same thing, we'd rather celebrate those differences

Not sure which Norfolk Spirit to choose?

If you enjoy a classic G&T, Norfolk Gin is the obvious place to begin.

Prefer something to sip slowly? Explore Norfolk Whisky, particularly if you're interested in discovering what English single malt can offer.

For something richer or spicier, take a look at Norfolk Rum.

If cocktails are more your thing, Norfolk Vodka provides an exceptionally versatile starting point.

And if you're looking for something fruitier, sweeter or simply rather different, explore Norfolk Liqueurs.

Or choose something you've never tried before. That's half the point.

One county. Several Distilleries One order.

Buying directly from a distillery is a great way to support an individual Norfolk producer.

Shopping with us allows you to do something slightly different.

You can put a Norfolk gin from one producer, a whisky from another and a liqueur from a third into the same basket – then add Norfolk cheese, charcuterie, chutney and hundreds of other products made around the county.

It's our Norfolk farmers' market approach to spirits: lots of independent Norfolk producers, brought together in one place.
