Despite his extensive experience, Burrell’s Dry Gin will be the first
gin Tristan has created from scratch at his own distillery.
Head Distiller of Massingberd-Mundy Distillery, Tristan Jørgensen
said:
“Throughout my career, I’ve helped to produce a wide range of
craft gins, but this is certainly my proudest achievement to date.
It’s a big moment for me and my family.”
“At Massingberd-Mundy Distillery, we’re creating an absolutely
exquisite range of artisan craft spirits and our first drink, Burrell’s
Dry Gin, is now ready to be enjoyed.
“Made with locally sourced ingredients and our magnificent
hand-made copper still, Angelica, we’ve worked hard to give
this gin an exceptional taste and smoothness. I’m sure it’ll be
enjoyed by casual drinkers and connoisseur gin-lovers alike.
”I’m so excited to launch this new Lincolnshire gin which pays
tribute to the heritage and history of our new home.
“While this is a huge moment for us, this is just the start of the
journey for Massingberd-Mundy Distillery. We’re already hard at
work on our next drink, which is as delicious as it is surprising...
but you’ll have to wait a little longer for that one.”
Tristan moved to Lincolnshire last year to establish the new
Massingberd-Mundy Distillery in Driby in partnership with South
Ormsby Estate. He now lives with his family next door to the
distillery.
Over 13 years, Tristan’s career as a distiller has taken him across
the whole country, from the Scottish Isle of Islay to Somerset and
Dorset. Now, he’s made his home in Lincolnshire where he intends
to stay.
Tristain said:
“We’ve travelled all over, living and working in some of the most
beautiful parts of the country, but we’ve decided that Lincolnshire
is the most amazing place. We love it here on the South Ormsby
Estate and we intend to stay here for good.
“In forty years from now, I’d like to have built this into a well-known
brand and retire on the estate, having trained an apprentice to
take over from me as master distiller. It’s been quite a journey and I
feel like it’s all been leading to this. I couldn’t be more excited.”
Massingberd-Mundy Distillery is named after the family which
owned the 3,000 acre South Ormsby Estate for almost 400 years.
Burrell’s Dry Gin is named after Charles Burrell Massingberd who
was the squire of South Ormsby Estate between 1802 and 1835
and was also the High Sheriff of Oxen. Charles was a man of
modern tastes who invested in the local area and adapted his
ancestral home, South Ormsby Hall to become a stylish hall of
restrained refinement.
