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 letter to jobs@microdistillery.co.uk We will respond to all applications, we may well receive quite a few so please bear with us.

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.

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.

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...
