Hepple | A Spirit of Northumberland | Local Heroes

Set in the wild landscapes of Northumberland, this film explores the story of Hepple Spirits and co-founder Walter Riddell, whose deep connection to the Hepple Estate helped shape one of Britain’s most distinctive gins. From ancient juniper bushes and Douglas fir forests to pioneering distillation techniques, Hepple captures the freshness and character of the Northumberland countryside in every bottle. More than a gin, it’s a celebration of place, nature and the people working to protect this remarkable landscape.
