Spirit of the Nation: UK Distilling Census

Between July and October 2025, we carried out the first industry-wide survey designed to reflect the full reality of UK distilling.

The results are in and the Spirit of the Nation census captured responses from 138 UK distilleries, with 133 valid entries.

With coverage representing around 25% of active UK distillers, this is a meaningful dataset that gives all producers the evidence they need to be heard, supported, and taken seriously – and to make the case for future growth, strategic planning, and long-term impact.
