Nestled amidst the rugged beauty and raw landscapes of Dartmoor, the Papillon Dartmoor Distillery is a testament to the harmony between man and nature. This artisanal distillery draws inspiration from the ancient moors that surround it, crafting spirits that resonate deeply with the local terroir.
The name "Papillon" is derived from the French word for butterfly, and it’s no coincidence. The distillery is profoundly committed to supporting the butterfly conservation efforts on Dartmoor. A portion of every bottle sold goes towards protecting these delicate creatures, ensuring that Dartmoor's meadows continue to flutter with life.
The botanicals used in their spirits are a reflection of Dartmoor's bountiful flora. Handpicked from the moors, these ingredients infuse the spirits with unique notes that can't be replicated anywhere else. From fresh river mint to bell heather, every ingredient tells a story of the land.
Papillon Dartmoor Distillery, while relatively new to the spirits scene, has rooted its ethos deeply in sustainable practices and a genuine love for the region. Their spirits serve as liquid postcards, offering a taste of Dartmoor's wild beauty to those near and far.
In each bottle from Papillon, you don't just get a spirit; you receive a piece of Dartmoor, a tale of its landscapes, its history, and its future, which the distillery is ardently working to preserve.
