LAUNCH PRESS RELEASE 2022
RESTLESS SPIRITS NEVER STAND STILL, Creative, Discerning, Adventurous. WE ARE BONE IDYLL.
This summer the Bone Idyll distillery, bar, and debut spirit and cocktail collection, launches by the river, in Kingston Upon Thames.
'Born and raised betwixt city and country, Bone Idyll combines the best of both worlds to bring you a modern spirit distilled the traditional way. They're serious about their craft but don't take themselves too seriously. We are Bone Idyll, but we never stand still' (a traveller.)
A Community Funded Project
Realised during lockdown, by admired local restaurateurs, residents and husband and wife team, Sam, and Alex Berry. Instead of approaching crowdfunding platforms, they reached out to their loyal community and customers and quickly raised the investment they required.
Together these curious and passionate creators, are embarking on a new venture valuing locally made, small batch spirits and cocktails, packed with character, attitude, and unbelievable taste.
Perfected for their hospitality comrades, alongside the discerning home mixologist who wants a hassle-free way to enjoy premium RTD cocktails and spirits.
The Distillery (by day)
Each pour is being perfectly crafted in two 100 litre copper pot stills, used for producing the Bone Idyll speciality gin, vodka, and rum.
The bar area features 10 x 2 litre copper pot stills, where guests will be able to attend and enjoy future gin school classes, bespoke and private events.
Customers can experience a small Bone Idyll menu serving British cheese, a tasty charcuterie selection and additional curated snacks perfectly accompanying their drinks.
