Witchmark, the multi-award-winning English distillery based in Wiltshire, has secured its largest retail distribution deal to date with Majestic Wine, less than two years after launching its first spirits at the end of 2024.
The rollout is set to cover 39 Majestic stores across the Southwest in the coming months, with the liquid currently stocked at 29, paving the way for a significantly stronger retail presence throughout the distillery’s heartland.
Witchmark’s Single Origin Vodka is a smooth and creamy, yet characterful spirit made from barley grown on the distillery’s Fonthill Estate. It is a multi-award- winning spirit, including a Gold Outstanding award at the IWSC with a score of 98 points. For the perfect serve at home, Witchmark recommends mixing with premium grapefruit soda for a hassle-free, delicious Paloma.
Meanwhile, Witchmark’s Black Lime Gin is a bold and adventurous spirit with a rich base of juniper and coriander, elevated with the dark, smoky tang of black lime and the numbing spice of Szechuan pepper, a gin for those who seek to explore something more unexpected. Witchmark say that this works very well in a G&T, but if you’re looking for something different, then look no further than the
Chilmark Stone. This serve combines 25ml of Black Lime Gin with 25ml of Sweet Vermouth and is topped with 50ml of Ginger Ale for a good low-ABV alternative, especially for those who like a stirred-down drink.
Jon Carson, commercial director at Witchmark Distillery, shared: “Securing a listing with Majestic is a major milestone for Witchmark and our largest retail distribution deal to date. Majestic has built an exceptional portfolio and is highly selective about the brands it supports, so we are incredibly proud to join its range as an emerging English spirits producer.
“This listing reflects the hard work of our entire team and the growing demand for distinctive, provenance-led English spirits. We’re excited to introduce our award-winning Single Origin English Vodka and Black Lime Gin to Majestic customers across the Southwest, and hopefully more widely in the future.”
“Witchmark Vodka has real character and quality as a spirit,” shared James Cox, Buyer at Majestic Wine. “Together with the distinctive Black Lime Gin, it gives our customers an exciting introduction to Witchmark and further enhances our growing offering of high-quality English spirits.”
Witchmark’s Single Origin Vodka and Black Lime Gin are available now from select Majestic stores. RRP £43.
