Willow Tree Distillery
It all began in the long hot summer days under the weeping willow trees on her family’s farm in the English countryside. From an early age Mary was involved in farming; her family running a small farm and managing a menagerie of animals in order to be self-sufficient. The seeds of environmental responsibility and sustainable living were planted in Mary from this early age.
Mary’s passion for experimentation with food and drink traces back to her parents living and working in Nigeria. Mary’s father was a keen cook and loved, in particular, creating recipes using unusual herbs and spices.
Following in her father’s footsteps, with a particular passion for African and Asian flavours, this joy in utilising exotic ingredients has been the guiding force in developing her unique gin.
