The Shivering Mountain Distillery sits on a hillside overlooking Hathersage, in the Peak District National Park. This makes these gins some of our most local bottlings! A group of friends founded the distillery, having had a shared vision to create a distillery in a place they loved. Tamsin, Nick, Sophie, Josie, Tilly, Jan, John, Harmony and Graham have all contributed to the creation of Shivering Mountain.
The distillery itself houses Little John, a hand-crafted copper Holstein still. Its name is derived from Robin Hood’s lieutenant, believed to be buried in Hathersage Parish Church graveyard.
The gins draw inspiration from one of the area's fantastic mountains, Mam Tor, also known as the 'shivering mountain'. The distillery is a community enterprise. By employing local experts, suppliers, and using local botanicals and ingredients wherever possible, they have created a truly authentic Peak District gin experience.
This Premium Dry Gin has the profile of a London Dry Gin. With juniper and citrus flavours enhanced with fruity notes from sloes and bilberries. These flavours combine with lighter, sweeter, floral tones from gorse and heather, resulting in a very smooth, warm, and rich gin with a long but slightly spicy finish.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
