Nelson's Distillery & School - Actually Made In Staffordshire

Nelson's is proud to announce our inclusion in the 'Actually Made In' initiative. The movement, pioneered by leaders such as Manchester Gin, Tarquin’s Cornish Gin, Masons of Yorkshire, and Brighton Gin, seeks to elevate the profile of craft distilleries and their distinct brands. More than just raising awareness, it's about boosting the support for local businesses, helping them to not only survive but thrive.

Being a craft distiller blends the joy of creativity with the dedication to craftsmanship. At Nelson’s, we take pride in our hands-on approach. Every batch of Nelson’s Gin is distilled, quality-controlled, bottled, waxed, and labelled entirely by hand, then carefully packed for distribution. We believe this hands-on involvement enriches the authenticity of our brand and underscores the importance of supporting local craft producers.

At Nelson’s, local support is essential to our success. Being able to verify the origins of our products adds a layer of trust and reassurance, ensuring our customers appreciate the value and authenticity of our brand.

The 'Actually Made In' campaign encourages consumers to think more deeply about the origins of their spirits and to consider craft distilleries in their buying decisions. The presence of the 'Actually Made In' badge makes it even easier for consumers to identify and choose these authentic brands, so we urge you to look out for it on websites and social media.

If you'd like to see where Nelson's spirits are made, feel free to stop by our onsite shop or book a spot on our Tour, Talk & Taste session. You might also enjoy our Nelson's Gin, Vodka & Rum School, the recent winner of the Staffordshire Tourism & Good Food Experience of the Year. It's a great way to get a closer look at how we create our products and to learn more about the craft distilling process.
