Saint Sithney Cornish Gin is a premium artisanal spirit that truly captures the essence of Cornwall. Distilled on a historic coastal farmstead, this gin is crafted from Cornish-grown wheat and infused with a unique blend of botanicals sourced from around the world.
The flavor profile is both bold and refreshing, featuring earthy juniper berries, zesty kaffir lime leaves, and citrusy notes from orange and lemon peel. These are complemented by the subtle aromatic hints of coriander and cardamom, creating a well-rounded and distinctive gin that reflects the wild and vibrant landscape of its origin

Place and memory are inherently interlinked throughout the cornish landscape. At Sithney, the ancient and the modern meld in the present, creating links to the past and a grounding in place and identity.
Named after Saint Sithney who came to Cornwall as one of a band of Irish missionaries. Legend states that God asked Sithney to be the patron saint of women seeking husbands, but Sithney retorted that he would never get any rest and so instead became the patron saint of mad dogs!
History is entrenched in every aspect of Sithney, even below the ground as the landscape is peppered with mines, some of which go back as far as Tudor times- the most renowned being the Great Wheal Fortune mine. Many generations of Cornishmen toiled in these pits, producing copper, zinc, arsenic, tungsten and tin. It is said that in the 1950s, a lone minor was seen to be working in the burrows, taking two sacks of Wolfram daily to the nearby village of Camborne to sell. And so, the wheel of fortune turns and, like the rotations of the hands of a clock, time has brought a new spirit of creativity and pride to the small parish – Saint Sithney Distilling co.
