Distillery Information

It’s a far cry from the grandeur of Speyside but located on an anonymous industrial estate to the east of Bristol city centre, among the soft play centres and sign companies, there’s whisky being made. The distillery called Circumstance, the creation of two friends: Liam Hirt, a cardiologist, and Danny Walker, who has worked in or around bars all his life, including a short stint as a brand ambassador for Diageo which didn’t suit him.The pair started distilling way back in 2007, making gin in a basement as a hobby, but in 2013 they opened a distillery near Bristol university named Psychopomp. After Pychopomp naturally, came Circumstance in August 2018. It’s a very small outfit, with a 1900-litre stainless pot still which can be connected to two column stills, a four plate and a 12 plate. Alcohol comes off the smaller column at around 70-72% ABV, preserving plenty of character. There are also a couple of tiny 300-litre gin stills which are used to make contract gin.
