Ellers Farm Distillery has announced its hero product, Dutch Barn Orchard Vodka, will be hitting Sainsbury’s shelves across the UK from 10th March. Joining distribution deals with Costco, ASDA, Waitrose, Tesco and Morrisons, the new listing means Dutch Barn Orchard Vodka is easier to get your hands on than ever as consumers can now buy it at Sainsbury’s stores across the nation and online at www.sainsburys.co.uk.
This listing follows a major investment from Ricky Gervais in November 2023, which saw the self-described ‘comedy god’ become Co-Owner of Ellers Farm Distillery. The comedian can be seen embracing his new role and donning his marketing cap in a recent post on X and Instagram, in which he shares a short tongue-in-cheek spoof prompting followers to purchase Dutch Barn Orchard Vodka this Valentine’s Day.
Based in the heart of North Yorkshire, Ellers Farm Distillery launched the award-winning Dutch Barn Orchard Vodka in 2022 to offer drinkers the opportunity to rediscover vodka. A uniquely distilled liquid that is handcrafted from British apples and tasted every 20 minutes during the unique distillation process, Dutch Barn Orchard Vodka’s mission is to showcase the quality and versatility of vodka to modern spirits drinkers.
Steve Hickey, sales sirector at Ellers Farm Distillery, commented: “We’re very excited to be working with Sainsbury’s and helping even more consumers rediscover what good vodka really is. Sainsbury’s is one of the UK’s largest and fastest-growing retailers so this listing is a big win for us, and we can’t wait to see our amazing product in the aisles up and down the country. ”
B Corp certified, Ellers Farm Distillery is committed to making planet-friendly choices in every step of the creation of its liquid. Dutch Barn Vodka’s trademark brown glass bottles were chosen because they use a higher percentage of recycled glass and are made in Yorkshire, cutting down transport emissions and paving the way for a new gold-standard in sustainable vodka production.
Kieran Ballinger-Hepworth, senior spirits buyer at Sainsbury’s, said: “We’re really looking forward to introducing Dutch Barn Orchard Vodka to our shelves. A great-tasting, smooth vodka with a really strong home-grown story. Sustainability is at the core of Ellers Farm Distillery and we’re thrilled to be working with a brand that aligns closely with our own values.”
Dutch Barn Orchard Vodka is now available to buy in-store across Sainsbury’s stores across the UK and online at www.sainsburys.co.uk
