Foxdenton Estate has been owned by the Radclyffe family since all the way back in 1569! However, the distillery was founded more recently in 1935. The estate company passed to Nicholas Radclyffe, the current owner, in 2001 after the death of his father, Alexander Radclyffe. The aim has been to develop the company while staying true to their family history.
The family have been making fruit liqueurs at home since the 1800s. So, the family took their old recipes and focused on making what they know best. They now have a wide selection of gin and gin liqueurs, though they developed their London Dry gin after they began with a range of fruit gins.
