We're Ben and Lisa — and Mounts Bay Distillery is very much a family thing. We started it in 2020 on the shores of Mount's Bay in Cornwall, and we run it ourselves, with a little help from our three kids when they can be prised away from the surf.

Ben is Cornish, a former chef, and he forages all our botanicals by hand — sea kelp, samphire & dulse — from the clifftops and coastline right on our doorstep. Working with the seasons and the tides, it means what goes into our bottles is as local as it gets.

Lisa is Swedish, and her Scandinavian sensibility shapes everything we make. Our Ebba gins are named her favourite Scandinavian girl names — and they reflect her love of clean, considered flavours where every botanical earns its place. It's the combination of Ben's Cornish roots and Lisa's Swedish taste that makes our spirits what they are.

Fire Distilled. Always.

We fire distil everything — using wood-fired copper pot stills, making us one of only a handful of distilleries in the country that still work this way. It takes more time and more attention, but the depth of flavour it gives us is something we'd never trade away. Every batch is hands-on, and we think you can taste the difference.

Rooted in Cornwall

Cornwall isn't just where we live — it's in everything we make. The soft Cornish water, the wild coastal botanicals we forage ourselves, the salt air off the Atlantic. It all finds its way into the glass, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Our Range

We make the Ebba Coastal Gin and Ebba Tidal Gin, the Rum Dhu trilogy of Gold, White, and Black rums, the warming Keynvor Honey Spiced Rum, and the unique Mariners Rum & Tea. Each one is a little piece of where we live and what we love.
