History

On 11 November 2016, the distillery opened its doors and the company was formally launched with its first product, Campfire London Dry Gin.

Campfire Cask Aged Gin was released in March 2017, followed by Campfire Navy Strength Gin in April. Six months after Campfire Navy Strength Gin's release Puddingstone Pudding Gin, referred to as PUD PUD, was the first seasonal gin created by the distillery, and was launched in November 2017.

A cask aged version of PUD PUD was launched in November 2018 followed by a cherry version in 2019.

In 2019 Puddingstone Distillery launched Campfire Old Tom Gin. Puddingstone teamed up with local charity the Box Moor Trust. The Box Moor Trust manages Roughdown Common, a SSSI, on which grows Hertfordshire's only known crop of naturally regenerating juniper. After harvesting the berries, Puddingstone Distillery created '1594 The Spirit of Box Moor', for the Trust's 425th Anniversary. The gin was launched on 11 October 2019 with proceeds going to the charity.[2]

The distillery takes its name from Hertfordshire puddingstone, a conglomerate sedimentary rock that is found almost exclusively in Hertfordshire.
