Hawkins Distillery is one of those feel-good success stories where passion, curiosity and a bit of “why not?” turned into something seriously delicious. 
Born right in the heart of Sheffield’s industrial heritage, this independent craft distillery has been whipping up unforgettable smallbatch spirits since 2019 – and with a whole lot of personality to spare.
What makes Hawkins stand out isn’t just the flavours, it’s the philosophy. Everything’s made with real, natural ingredients – no artificial bells, whistles or flavour factories – just thoughtfully chosen botanicals, fruits, roots and more, many of which come from local suppliers or even the distiller’s own garden.
This isn’t your average ‘standard issue’ spirits operation – it’s a place where craft meets curiosity. Founder Bryn Hawkins didn’t set out to launch a distillery; the journey began with a hobby, a shed, and a kitchen table. Fast-forward a few years, and the operation has outgrown its humble beginnings, now taking residence in a Grade II listed building on Sheffield’s Baltic Works – the first distillery to ever grace the historic site.
Their range is as playful as it is flavourful: from their punchy 4Ships Navy Strength Gin and fruity Blood Orange Gin, to whimsical hits like Chuckleberry Vodka and seasonal delights like Chrimbo Gin, every bottle has a story and a smile behind it.
Customers rave about the smoothness, the creativity and the way Hawkins spirits bring people together – whether that’s in a cocktail, a G&T on a sunny afternoon, or around a festival stand where someone first says “Oooh!” after a taste. In the world of craft drinks, Hawkins Distillery feels like the friend you want at your party – friendly, bold, and always up for a good time.
