East Chase Distillers is "thrilled to announce" it has been awarded the 'Best Wine or Spirit Producer' at the Coventry and Warwickshire Foodie Awards.

"This accolade reflects our unwavering commitment to producing exceptional quality spirits that resonate with consumers and critics alike," the independent business said.

Judges praised the East Chase Vodka, stating it features "good liquid, excellent flavour profiles, and is impressively presented in a bottle that commands the shelf."

They commended its versatility, noting it can be enjoyed neat or as a mixer, making it a perfect addition to any cocktail or a delightful sip on its own.

Furthermore, the judges highlighted how the vodka builds perfectly on the foundation of our excellent gin range.

"We are incredibly proud to receive this recognition," said Luke Weetman, Founder at East Chase Distillers.

"This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team. We strive to create spirits that not only taste exceptional but also elevate the experience of our customers."

Held last week, the Coventry and Warwickshire Foodie Awards celebrate the finest in food and drink, showcasing local talent and innovation.

Winning the Best Wine or Spirit category places East Chase Distillers among the leaders in the industry, solidifying its reputation for excellence.

In addition to its award-winning products, East Chase Distillers invites the community to head down to the East Chase Farm venue every Friday night to the distillery bar, opening at 5pm.

"Enjoy a relaxed atmosphere featuring our spirits plus locally sourced beer and wine, while mingling with fellow enthusiasts," the team said.

"On the last Friday of each month, we are excited to host a different food truck, offering a delicious selection of food that perfectly pairs with our beverages."

Guests can book the food truck night in advance through the website.

"We would like to extend our gratitude to the judges, our loyal customers, and the local community for their continued support," they added.

"We look forward to crafting more outstanding spirits that inspire and delight."

East Chase Distillers is dedicated to producing high quality spirits, combining traditional methods with modern innovation.

With a focus on quality and craftsmanship, it aims to create memorable experiences for customers.

Founded in late 2022 by two school friends, East Chase Distillers was born from a pub conversation and a shared passion for craft spirits.

After years of planning, the duo opened their distillery at East Chase Farm, launching with their signature Heritage Gin. 

Since then, they have expanded to offer a full range of premium gins and, in 2024, introduced three new vodka blends — Premium Standard, Wild Berries, and Orange & Passionfruit — crafted using their world-class Holstein still.
