West Midlands Distillery will officially open its new distillery at Waterfront Brierley Hill on Friday (March 21). It will be home to the first-ever single malt whisky to be produced in the West Midlands.
The new distillery will also offer visitors a behind-the-scenes experience delving into the world of whisky-making, including immersive group tours, tastings, and a one-of-a-kind distilling school where guests can craft and age their own whisky, something rarely seen in the industry and a first for the region.
The launch of the new distillery is set to put the Black Country on the map for whisky enthusiasts and West Midlands Distillery said it will quadruple its output to 30,000 bottles per year, reinforcing the region’s reputation as a growing force in the English whisky movement.
Founder, Jordan Lunn, from Rowley Regis, has a strong family heritage of brewing and distilling and with a team of 16 people, he has built an award-winning business that he said stays true to traditional whisky-making methods while championing local suppliers and sustainability.
