Welcome to The Portsmouth Distillery, an award-winning artisan spirits destination based within the historic walls of Fort Cumberland in Portsmouth.
Since 2018, we have been crafting exceptional spirits inspired by our coastal heritage and rich naval history. Today, we're much more than a distillery. Alongside our premium range of gins and rums, we offer unforgettable experiences including guided distillery tours, live events, private celebrations and our brand-new educational school sessions.
Whether you're discovering our story on a tour, joining us for an event, or just popping into the bar for a drink, there's always something to experience at The Portsmouth Distillery.
Visit us at the distillery, shop online, or join us at one of the many events we host throughout the year.
Our exceptional 1812 3-year-aged rum has been aged in Bourbon casks for three years, less than 100m from the sea in Fort Cumberland. Crafted in the heart of an ancient monument, the rum itself makes history, as we become the first English Distillery to make from scratch & authentically age a Rum for three years!
Each bottling of 1812 is a single cask release: disgorged, diluted, filtered and bottled, thereby maintaining the 100% organic purity of the spirit.
Our Spirits have won multiple awards, from 'Best Rum on the Rocks' to 'Best Spiced Rum'.
