Spirits made from Cyder!

Spirits made from Cyder!

We've been distilling spirits since 2000, starting with our Apple Brandy, then in 2003, we started distilling England's oldest Whiskey!

In February 2020, we went viral. Why? We introduced Rattler Cornish Gin to the world!

As many of you will already know, Rattler spirits aren't your run-of-the-mill tipple, made the Cornish way and with extra Healeys know-how, every single spirit is created, distilled, and blended from our famous cyder as its base, right here at the Farm!

Did you know every 70cl bottle of Rattler Gin is distilled from approximately 15 bottles of Rattler Cyder!

Cyder Vats

Cyder Vats

Like so many of our delicious award-winning drinks, most of our spirits start with the humble apple. So, it makes perfect sense that your guided tour will begin with a talk at our very famous (and often photographed) cyder vats which hold a combined 1.2 million litres of apple juice!

The Healeys Distillery

The Healeys Distillery

At the time of installation, our copper pot still was the smallest in operation in England at just 1,200 litres capacity and you’ll be given a fantastic insight into just how a copper pot still works and the process of how we craft various different spirits here at the farm.

Coopers Workshop & Cellars

Coopers Workshop & Cellars

Once a spirit has been expertly crafted, the next most important step for the likes of Brandy, Rum & Whiskey is maturation which takes place in our underground cellars.

You’ll learn how a cooper makes wooden barrels, the definition of angels’ share and more about the spirits resting quietly below ground!

Secret Cellar Bar

Secret Cellar Bar

This tour comes to an exciting finale in our secret cellar bar where you’ll not only learn about the “heads, hearts and tails” of a spirit, you’ll whiff botanicals we use to make Rattler Gin and then the best part… the tasting class!

You’ll be invited to a guided tasting of Rattler Gin, Healeys Limited Edition Rum plus a choice of Hicks & Healey Whiskey or Healeys Brandy.

This is a boozy tour containing spirits at 37.5% Vol or more, so please drink responsibly and never drink & drive.
