Connoisseur
On 2nd April 2019, everything changed for Yorkshire’s original gin distillery when a fire broke out. The building was destroyed and the stills were forced out of production. After leading the revival of gin in Yorkshire and years of successful growth, within just a few hours, everything for Masons went up in smoke.
Yorkshire’s seemingly unquenchable thirst for their favourite gin saw people flocking from far and wide to help the business. From donations of stationery, laptops, office space and even other distilleries offering up their equipment, the business set up a contingency plan within 24 hours. The enduring spirit of their staff, the fire service, customers, community and industry colleagues demonstrated the true meaning of Yorkshire spirit.
Ten months on, Masons Gin have moved across to their new distillery and announced their ambitious comeback plans. Just a stone’s throw from their old premises, Masons has moved into a purpose-built site in Leeming Bar. To mark the occasion and say thank you to everyone who supported their phenomenal journey, Masons are launching Phoenix Edition: a special edition batch of Masons Original gin produced from their new still. 2,000 bottles will be made to commemorate the occasion.
