Duo Launch Yorkshire Spirit Brand Inspired by Brontë Heritage
this month.
Brontë Drinks is a range of small batch spirits crafted to produce a vibrant, crisp, individual taste within a collection of gin, rum and vodkas.
Created by two West Yorkshire entrepreneurs Nigel Pickles and Andy Walker as a “pandemic passion project”, the duo purchased The Brontë Liqueur Company from its Harrogate founder, Sir James Aykroyd, and using the liqueur's base recipe of blackberry, sloes, honey and jasmine, beginning to experiment with new flavour combinations in a range of spirits.
Haworth-based Nigel Pickles said: “We do have a passion for and appreciation of a good spirit and when the opportunity came along to purchase the heritage-based Brontë liqueur brand and stock, we saw a real opportunity to use it as a base for developing a wider range of alcoholic drinks.
“We've been working with our Yorkshire distiller and experimenting with flavours including citrus, heathers and rich botanicals to create a rich, smooth and dry gin, alongside a vanilla and nutmeg infused rum and a wild berry-based vodka. Each batch is enhanced by Haworth's own spring water.”
He added: “Authenticity is key to our range and that transfers right through to our product names which, we feel are a great reflection of Yorkshire dialect and our humour! Once we cracked the name of our “Where's Tha Bin gin,” there was no stopping us!”
Brontë Drinks' “Where's Tha Bin” gin sits alongside “Ey Up Cocker” vodka and “Ee Bah Gum” rum and are being sold into local pubs, bars, specialist retailers and direct to customers online.
With a planned roll out into major multiples during 2023, the duo is already working on an additional range of after dinner chocolates and locally made fudge, which are also based on the original Brontë Liqueur recipe.
Co-director Andy added: “While we know there are many spirits adorning the retail aisles and online markets, we feel there is a gap for a range of spirits which celebrate the landscape and the culture of Haworth where the very essence of its rugged beauty and native ingredients filter through into a very pure, premium quality product.
“While Brontë Drinks offers a new range of spirits to the craft drink scene, we hope the quality, the heritage and the directness of our approach will be just the tonic for gin, vodka and rum drinkers across the region and beyond.”

Surrey Business, Mandira's Kitchen Competes for Spot on Aldi's Shelves in new TV series
Mandira owns and runs Mandira's Kitchen, which produces artisan Indian freezer meals. She was picked from hundreds of applicants competing for a life changing contract to stock Aldi stores nationwide.
Hosted by Anita Rani, of Countryfile and BBC Radio 4 and Chris Bavin, of Britain's Best Home Cook and Eat Well for Less, the six-part series sees suppliers compete in categories like dinners, baked goods, treats and store cupboard essentials.
Products are presented to Julie Ashfield, who is Aldi UKs MD of buying, who deliberates on factors like price, packaging, shopper demand, and the ability to scale up, before whittling contestants down to only two.
The finalists are then given a month to deal with any feedback, before presenting improved products to Julie who decides which product will appear as a Specialbuy in over 970 Aldi branches throughout the UK.
Mandira, who launched the business as a supper club in her kitchen and now employs 16 women, says: “Food is a very emotive thing and we cook all our meals with a lot of love. Everything is made from scratch, with fresh ingredients. There are absolutely no cans or jars.
“I think it's high time people in the UK are able to easily enjoy authentic Indian food at home, and a contract with Aldi would help us realise this ambition.”
The multi-category competition is part of Aldi's ongoing commitment to use locally sourced products. Aldi has pledged to prioritise home-grown suppliers as it works towards spending an additional £3.5 billion a year with British businesses by the end of 2025.
To find out if Mandira made it on to Aldi's shelves watch Aldi's Next Big Thing on Channel 4, every Thursday at 8pm until 24th November.
You can already purchase meals from Mandira, including authentic ice cream for UK-wide delivery at her website https://www.mandiraskitchen.com.
Readers will be please to learn that Mandira and her staff already have Christmas covered for you. There are special festive foods, gift vouchers, Christmas gifts and tableware.
They can also cater for events, too, so please do get in touch with them.
