What we are...


DANNY
Watching: Binge watching Ru Paul's Drag Race!
Reading: Momofuku
Listening: Charles Bradley Black Velvet, such a great album.
Shopping: Brockley stores are doing a great click and collect service. Got eggs, fresh sourdough (East Bristol Bakery) and a veg box, all nice and local, got a cheeky pork pie too! Good social distancing practiced, paid online and it was ready for me to collect.
Drinking: Mostly tasty beers from Dan at Coffee&Beer. Notable highlight was "Home Over There" by Boxcar.

LIAM
Watching: Westworld [season 2] {f**king amazing sci-fi}
Reading: Isaac Asimov - The caves of Steel {f**king amazing sci-fi}
Listening to: Radio 4 {not sci-fi}
Shopping: Degusta {delivered by Danny!}
Drinking: Circumstantial Mixed grain. Neat. Every night.

MARK
Watching: Better call Saul (from the start).
Reading: Time's Arrow.
Listening: Lots of 6 Music + David O'Doherty's isolating podcast.
Shopping: Been getting our fruit and veg through the box scheme, run through the community kitchen at the Tobacco factory. Also been buying a lot of bread (even for our house) through Mark's bread and East Bristol bakery.
Drinking: Not as much as I thought I would (yet) but Blanco tequila is something I've turned to a few times. Fortaleza specifically.

STEPH
Watching: Spent an evening binge watching ‘this way up’ on 4OD. Sitcom/black comedy written by and staring Ashling Bea. Got my fingers crossed for a 2nd series.
Reading: ‘How to stop time’ by Matt Haig. A present that has sat on my bookshelves for far too long!
Listening: Re-listening to loads of episodes of ‘Films to be buried with’. Sort of desert island disks with films! Loads of great comedians interviewed so amusing as well as giving me extra film suggestions.
Shopping: Filthy XIII are delivering canned and bottled cocktails to your doorstep... no brainer!
Drinking: A few things...Living so close to The Greenman means we are lucky enough to be able to treat ourselves to delicious takeaway beer (in reusable containers). Vermouth and soda has been a tasty staple in my life for a long time and featuring heavily now. Plus ‘Freyja’ and tonic in the sunshine (on brand in my own garden!).

MATT
Watching: First series of NYPD blue and random films I haven’t seen in ages... most recently the first terminator.
Also, not sure if this qualifies, but a workout channel on youtube with coach Kozak & Claudia. They’re American but fortunately not the ridiculously over enthusiastic variety... my arms and legs ache quite a bit most of the time now.
Listening: I’ve been listening to Lauren on BBC6 in the morning & some old de la soul & DJ shadow albums/tunes.
Reading: Lots and lots of sites for recipes for bread/food in general, (& beer). Along with distillation material I have...Haven’t embarked on neuromacer yet... got that penciled in for later this weekend.
Shopping: Had some Arbor delivered... Rocketman & C Bomb... they were out of Shangri-la, alas. Putting together a Degusta order as we speak (and probably a Ruby & White tomorrow).
Drinking: Beer.

ZARA'S CHOCOLATES GIN TRUFFLES

Image
We love collaborating with other local independent producers in a variety of fields and like all other local chocoholics, we are massive fans of Zara’s Chocolates! We have previously been inspired by her products for ‘Distillers Table-CHOCOLATE’ and love tasting what the talented team create from each of our seasonal recipes throughout the year. Here Zara lets us behind the scenes on her process in creating the latest Spring Gin Truffle with ‘Freyja’. Process: On looking at the botanicals in the 'Freyja', and smelling the aromas, we immediately felt an urge to trial the gin with a frangipan style filling, to pair with the apricot and orange blossom notes. We felt like a lighter, sweeter take for Spring this time with our gin truffle, a change from our stronger boozy, fruity pairings we've done previously. Grinding up some freshly toasted almonds to make a smooth nut paste, we then paired this with a white chocolate, and some organic orange oil for a sweet frangipa...

What a difference a year makes!

Image
51 weeks ago we opened the doors to Circumstance, to introduce the world to a little project that had been several years in the making. We had one hell of a party, over 200 people came to join us, Eatchu served up some tasty dumplings and Messrs Scott and Keegan knocked out copious amounts of gin and tonic from the makeshift pallet bar. We launched C.D.T. (Circumstance Distillery Tokens) and some lucky customers got their hands on some limited edition playing cards to mark the occasion. Once we had sorted out the hangovers and cleaned up after the party, it was time to get Circumstance fully up and running. Over the past year we have had a whole lot of firsts, fermented our first mash, distilled our first wash, filled our first casks and launched our first products. It has been a super steep learning curve and it's been a hell of a lot of fun! Time has flown by, but we have also managed to achieve a lot in 12 months. As well as releasing Barley, Cane and Mixed Grain...

The distillers apprentice

We are on the look out for the right person to come and join our distillery family. We have a new position available for a distillery apprentice. The position involves working with the teams at both of our distilleries, learning on the job as well as through external accredited courses in distillation. There is no experience necessary, but there are a few attributes that will certainly come in handy. Attention to detail, computer literacy, an interest in science, a driving license and a good head for numbers would all certainly help. However the most important things we are looking for are a desire to learn and a passion for flavour. The role is based on 30 hours a week of work and 10 hours a week of independent learning leading to internationally recognised qualifications. We are a living wage employer, we have some great perks and we pride ourselves in being a good employer. We will genuinely consider all applicants. If you're interested, then email a C.V. along with a cover l...
