Ellers Farm Distillery, the proud owner of Dutch Barn Vodka and an emerging leader in the UK premium spirits category, has announced the acquisition of 100% of the shares in Bramley and Gage Limited, securing full ownership of the acclaimed 6 O’Clock Gin brand.
6 O’Clock Gin, known for its commitment to quality and strikingly smooth style, joins Ellers Farm’s expanding portfolio of spirits. The acquisition marks a major milestone in the Yorkshire distillery’s drive to build a global portfolio of distinctive, high-quality drinks.
Ricky Gervais, co-owner of Ellers Farm Distillery, said: “I love what we’re building at Ellers Farm. The ambition to take great British spirits to the world is one of the reasons I got involved. We’ve got Dutch Barn Vodka, Y-Gin, a single malt whisky on the way, and now 6 O’Clock. Which is a good time to start drinking. PM, that is.”
Chris Fraser, founder and CEO of Ellers Farm Distillery, added, “This is a big step in our long-term growth strategy. 6 O’Clock Gin is a respected premium gin brand, rooted in craft, character and connection. It aligns perfectly with our values, and we’re excited to bring fresh energy, investment and international reach to the brand, while staying true to the qualities that have made it so well loved.”
The acquisition supports Ellers Farm Distillery’s goal to offer a collection of the finest spirits that inspire moments of connection, joy, and style. With plans already underway to expand distribution and marketing efforts, the company is poised to elevate 6 O’Clock Gin’s presence in the highly competitive gin category.
