The Oxford Artisan Distillery

The Oxford Artisan Distillery, nestled in the heart of the picturesque Oxfordshire countryside, has embraced the principles of sustainable agriculture to craft a whisky with a terroir that stands in a league of its own. This commitment to sustainable and holistic farming practices results in exceptional spirits and promotes the revitalisation of the land and its rich agricultural heritage.

John Letts, the Head of Farming at the distillery, is at the helm of this visionary approach. His expertise and dedication are instrumental in the distillery’s mission to transform the very essence of whisky production. Letts employs a continuous grain cropping technique that breathes new life into each field’s heritage grain population. This unique and meticulous approach ensures that every grain thrives, adapts, and develops its distinct character, creating a symphony of flavours that encapsulate the essence of the land.

One of the remarkable benefits of this approach is the grains’ newfound resilience to diverse climates, allowing them to flourish under varying conditions. This adaptability is a testament to the distillery’s commitment to sustainability and its ability to foster a harmonious relationship between the land and the whisky it yields. The result of this extraordinary journey is a whisky like no other, one that carries the soul of the land, the legacy of heritage grains, and the passion of those dedicated to preserving and nurturing nature’s gifts. Each sip tells a story of terroir, resilience, and the boundless possibilities of sustainable agriculture in the whisky world.
