true

Cotswolds Distillery

Founded in 2014 after native New Yorker and whisky connoisseur Daniel Szor moved to the Cotswolds. Daniel had spotted an opportunity to distil the golden barley that grew around the area. The doors to the Cotswolds Distillery were opened, selling the first ever whisky to be distilled in the Cotswolds.

Santander's experience in supporting businesses in the whisky market and dedicated whisky sector team made us the perfect fit to support The Cotswolds Distillery. Initially focussing on growth in the UK, they are now well established in this market and looking to grow internationally.

Santander's supporting this ambition by providing a funding boost to the business that will significantly increase their annual alcohol production levels. This will enable them to lay down additional stock to meet future demand. Whilst also tapping into Santander's vast international experience, Cotswold Distillery are now able to focus on the next step of their growth strategy across international markets.

Cotswolds Distillery has become an established leading brand in the English whisky and gin market, and we’re delighted to provide a funding solution which will help them with their growth plans. With our international connections we can also assist them to further expand their global markets.
