Frequently Asked Questions

What does The Craft Distilling Business do?

We are a B2B supplier of bespoke distillation equipment and a specialist distillery consultancy. We design, build and install custom copper and steel stills and provide a turnkey service to help businesses set up, license and operate their own in-house micro-distillery.

Who do you work with?

We work with bars and destination distillery-bars, restaurants and hotels, high-end retail venues, craft spirit producers, and essential-oil producers — anyone looking to bring distillation in-house or launch their own spirit.

Which countries do you operate in?

We work across the UK, Europe and Asia. Our focus markets are the UK and Republic of Ireland, followed by Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Monaco, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal and Andorra.

Do you only supply equipment, or do you help run the distillery too?

Both. We supply the equipment and provide founder-led training, recipe development, licensing support, health & safety frameworks and commercial advice — support continues until you no longer need it.

Can you build a distillery to fit an unusual or restricted space?

Yes. We design stills to fit any physical space and have installed in highly restrictive environments including airports and cruise ships.

How do I get started?

Get in touch for an initial consultation. We will discuss your space, the spirits you want to make, your licensing route and budget, then design a setup around your goals.
