April 2020: Potato Planting
If you weren’t aware already, the not so guarded secret is that our smooth and creamy spirits are distilled from potatoes. The starchy properties of the humble spud are vital in producing the unique characteristics of our award winning vodka and gin collections, achieved through using a mix of King Edward, Lady Claire and Lady Rosetta varieties.
Like many other Farmers up and down the country we’ve just started planting our 2020 crop of potatoes. A true labour of love, each year Harry prepares the fields ready for this year’s crop and nurtures the plants right through to Autumn time when they’ll be harvested.
