The Distillery

Two warehouse units near Exeter Airport, and everything a rum needs happens inside them.

Two Drifters started life as both a brewery and a distillery. When demand for the rum took off, the decision made itself: the brewery equipment was converted to rum production, and capacity went from 80 bottles a week to more than 2,000.

Everything happens here, from the molasses arriving to the finished bottle leaving: fermentation, distillation, dilution with purified reverse osmosis water, spicing, ageing and bottling. The full story of the process is on our How It's Made page.

Every piece of equipment in the distillery is electric. No gas, no oil, no flame anywhere in the building. Our electricity comes from a 100% renewable tariff, so there are no emissions associated with our energy use, and that fact is baked into the verified footprint of every bottle.

The best way to see what makes this place different is to stand in it. We are just outside Exeter, and you will taste the rum a few steps from where it was made.
