The story of The Oxford Artisan Distillery begins in 2017 when Tom Nicolson and Tagore Ramoutar set out to become the first “grain-to-glass” organically certified spirit producer in the United Kingdom. Their small facility is located in an old depot previously owned by Oxford City Council. Master Distiller Cory Mason oversees the Devon Railway Engineering built 2,400 and 500-litre stills which are affectionally named Nautilus and Nemo from Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. The company has a range of different spirits and can stake claim to being the first ever legal distillery in Oxford’s history.
