Greenall's Gin

Three years later the distillery moved to a site in Birchwood, Warrington where Greenall's is still produced today.

The company ceased brewing in 1991 to concentrate on running pubs and hotels, and subsequently became the De Vere Group.

They sold Greenall's Gin for £7 million in a private equity-backed management buyout in 2011, and the same year the Quintessential Brands group was founded and took over.

At that time the distillery produced more than 50 per cent of the UK's own label gin and vodka, including products for Tesco, Sainsbury's and Asda, as well as Bombay Sapphire for Bacardi.
