Anno Distillers
About
Anno Distillers, founded in 2011 by science‑savvy brothers Andy and Norman, is Kent’s first gin distillery in more than a century. Located in the Crest Industrial Estate of Marden, the distillery features the iconic 300‑litre copper‑pot still – Patience – which has been crafting award‑winning spirits to date. In addition to its celebrated spirits, including the world’s strongest gin, Anno Extreme 95, the distillery offers immersive experiences: a guided tour that reveals every step of the making process, a hands‑on blending session, and a shop where all products (spirit, cases, gift sets and WHO‑approved hand rub sanitiser) are sold. Visitors can also explore the distillery’s contribution to community initiatives and the science behind their products in a relaxed, storytelling atmosphere. “Take a sneak peek behind the scenes and see how we blend science and nature to create unique spirits” – that’s the promise of Anno Distillers.
