When we decided to embark on our farming adventure we knew that it would take us in unexpected directions, but we have been consistently delighted by the generosity of neighbours, and the encouragement from the wider agricultural community.
Our vines weren't even planted when we had a visit from the former CEO of Chapel Down, England's largest wine-maker, who 'couldn't wait to see what we would do'. The vines were just little twigs in the ground, sad little things that had just scraped through the drought of 2022, when we had two guests from Berry Brothers & Rudd, Adam Holden and Lizzy Rudd. They were keen to talk about what it means to be a B Corp, but also, what kind of winemakers we hoped to be and how our ethics and soil first focus were shaping the farm.
Since that first meeting we have been very lucky to be invited to some of the Changemaker dinners hosted at 3 St. James Street, the Berry Bros. & Rudd HQ. Whether the conversations are about B Corps, sustainability in general, or in viticulture and viniculture in particular, they have always been transparent, generous, and fascinating.
Berry Bros. & Rudd regularly contribute to the Distillers One of One Auction in aid of the Youth Action Fund. This is the third edition of this auction, and it will take place on Friday 10th October 2025.
"This year, we’ve delved into the depths of our Family Reserve to present two rare and remarkable single malts—each with a distinct personality—from the revered Caol Ila and Balmenach distilleries. And this offering is more than just exceptional whisky. In a meeting of tradition and innovation, we’ve teamed up with sustainable luxury pioneers Elvis & Kresse to create bespoke packaging. Crafted from repurposed materials, each piece is as unique and enduring as the liquid it carries. Exceptional spirits, meaningful design—enjoy the whisky, and take the story with you."
—Lizzy Rudd, Berry Bros. & Rudd Chair
It was a real honour to create a bespoke Gladstone bag and set of presentation boxes to hold the whisky and a set of crystal tumblers. We also made a display plinth from a genuine Berry Bros. & Rudd whisky barrel stave.
If you would like to see more of our Gladstones, you can find them here! They are also available in full decommissioned fire-hose.
And if you are keen on the boxes, we have them in three sizes:
Small:
Medium:
