Description

Rosemullion Distillery is our small family-run business set in the orchard of an 1870s Cornish house, close to the Helford River. Since launching in 2018 we have won numerous national and international gold awards for our home-produced range of Cornish gins, rums and spirits.
Our business is directly influenced by the area of outstanding natural beauty in which we are fortunate enough to live and work. The Helford rainwater used in the fermentation and distillation process is complemented by local Cornish ingredients, including seasonal fruit from our own orchard and vines, ripened by the Cornish summer sun.

As a small business we are committed to being protectors and perfecters of the distillers' craft, and so take our role as artisan-producers very seriously. To ensure quality control we only make 100 bottles at a time, and all our spirits are produced by hand using our bespoke copper still.

The Rosemullion Distillery team is made up of family and friends who not only share the harvesting, bottling and labelling processes, but enjoy drinking it too. This is one of the reasons why the growing success of our family business is down to something basic but essential: loving our produce.

We currently manually apply our labels to our bottles and are now seeking a labelling machine to perform this task for us.
The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project. We will assess tenders received on lowest compliant Tender
