About Silent Pool Distillers

In 2014, founders Ian McCulloch and James Shelbourne discussed the idea of setting up small, local distillery. The two friends started out with a grand vision of making a truly sustainable distillery next to a fresh water source, producing handcrafted, artisan spirits using locally sourced ingredients. This is when they happened upon Sherbourne Farm, on the banks of the magical Silent Pool in the Surrey Hills nestled deep in the woodlands of the Surrey Hills. Not long after they got the go ahead to restore the dilapidated farm buildings into the Silent Pool Distillery. Since then we've created a numerous range of spirits. All of our products taste distinctively different from one another, each are united by a shared purpose and vision. Rather than being reliant on one unique ingredient to shine through, all our recipes work like a symphony of flavours. Each and every ingredient serves a purpose and complements the last without dominating the palate. The balancing of these complex flavours always involves a long and arduous process. Our distillers have experimented with hundreds of different flavour combinations over the years before landing on the perfect recipe.Read their story
