Prologue
Our story began in the city of Rezekne, Latvia, where our founding brothers’ Great-Grandparents began distilling from grain. The two brothers, Vitalijs and Alex, grew up watching their grandparents growing grain and using secret family recipes passed down from generation to generation to produce fine spirits.
In 1998, they moved to the heart of the country in Stoke-on-Trent and were inspired by the city and its rich cultural heritage. Made up of six neighbouring towns and renowned as the ‘World capital of ceramics’, the area's reputation for high craftmanship appealed to their sense of perfection.
It was here that Vitalijs and Alex turned to their own heritage and began selling state-of-the-art Genio distillery equipment. Having served well over 100 distilleries across the country and armed with their extensive experience and industry knowledge, they combined their mutual love for crafting spirits with their family’s secret recipes and set out on a mission to create an artisan gin that encapsulated the refined craftsmanship of Stoke-on-Trent… and Sixtowns Gin was born.
Entrusted with their family's secret family recipes, brothers Vitalijs and Alex decided each recipe should become a chapter to the Sixtowns story. Turning their distilling skills to vodka production - the first spirit their ancestors produced - and staying true to their ethos of creating small-batch, limited edition premium spirits, they developed their family recipe using the purest water, finest organic grain to create Sixtowns Triple Distilled Vodka. A smooth and refreshing vodka carefully crafted for neat sipping, use in cocktails or long drinks and made with the same passion and expertise as our gin.
With Sixtowns Gin and Sixtowns Vodka now capturing the hearts of many, the brother’s attention was turned to an increasingly fashionable classic – Rum. Equipped with their extensive knowledge of botanicals, Sixtowns Spiced Rum was lovingly created. With a delicious blend of mixed spices, Sixtowns Spiced Rum makes the perfect accompaniment to your favourite mixer. We highly recommend a good quality cola with a squeeze of fresh lime and plenty of ice!
This fabulous combination will send your taste buds on an unforgettable joyride (like it did with ours! ), blending the classic juniper notes of gin with the nostalgic and tangy taste of rhubarb. As you sip and savour this delightful creation, you'll smile as you indulge in memories of carefree summer days and laughter-soaked evenings with friends. So, gather up your favourite people, and get ready to celebrate life with the colour and charm of SIXTOWNS Pink Gin – we guarantee you'll be tickled pink!
