Our Story

Our master distiller uses a range of equipment from handmade copper pot stills to a large multi column reflux stills to create the superb spirit that is the essence and foundation of all the TMD products. Every drink has its own personality and unique production process as they begin the arduous task of being crafted to perfection. An artisanal process that has been passed down through generations from Alla Ward’s Russian and Ukrainian family heritage and which still remains the essence of our distillery today.
