About
Psychopomp is a small, independent, carbon neutral Micro-Distillery based in an old grocery shop on St Michaels hill, Bristol. They use handmade 30L copper pot stills to produce gin in small batches, using a single shot method.
They produce their signature gin recipe ‘WODEN’ alongside limited edition seasonal recipes and bespoke batches for local independent restaurants/producers/businesses.
They also produce a variety of other spirits as unique as each of their gins; the first British Aqvavit, a Parisian style Absinthe and single origin coffee digestif!
At the distillery you can find weekly gin masterclasses and distilling workshops, details of each below:
