Cuckoo Spirits at Brindle Distillery

This independent distillery is situated on Holmes Farm, nestled in the beautiful undulating landscape of rural Lancashire in the North West of England, in the charming, historical village of Brindle. Home to the award winning Cuckoo Spirits range.

 

Holmes Farm has been in the Singleton family for over 100 years. The inspiration to add a distillery into the mix came one day as the family sat unwinding together after a long day on the farm, enjoying G&T’s. Housed in a renovated barn the distillery is home to Maggie, the delightful yet sophisticated 500 litre custom-built copper hybrid still distilling the finest handcrafted spirits.

 

'Born ’n’ bred in Brindle? A Brindle Cuckoo that’ be!' the amazing community inspired the name Cuckoo, which is the name given to all the spirits made at the distillery. An old farmers tale, the first call of the Cuckoo meant spring had arrived and it was time for the farmers to harvest and make money. In all their wisdom, they tried to keep the bird in the village hoping the good weather would stay all year long. Unfortunately, the wall they built was not big enough and the Cuckoo flew away leading to the wives calling the farmers ‘cuckoo’ for such a silly idea!  It was only fitting that anything born ‘n’ bred at Brindle Distillery was given the name Cuckoo.
