Inspired by the rich and sweet Tennessee whiskeys and native American folk tales, Cherokee mixes 100% pure Canadian maple syrup with intricately distilled gin. We balance the Maple with Orange and Sarsaparilla to create a sipable and mixable golden gin.
We won't sugar-coat this, Umami Gin is the funk and as mad as they come. A savoury gin combining Shiitake Mushrooms, Sun Dried Tomatoes, Honeyed Butternut Squash and Pink Peppercorn. Designed to stand up as a food pairing and not to shy away from what it is.
Pomelo is our citrus explosion. We go to great lengths to pack this full of fresh Pink Grapefruit, Pear and Liquorice. Not feeling that just using the peel was enough, we also pass the vapour through a layer of the juicy centres to really capture the vibrant flavour.
Made in ridiculously small batches in the South Downs
We at Corner Fifty Three believe in Creativity, Independence and a Passion for spirits
(and strong facial hair).
None of our products fit into conventional, existing gin types so that we have full creative license over what we bottle. Hence the term "New Age Gin". Oh, and its all produced in a shed in our back garden!

OUR STORY
Corner Fifty Three is a distilling project 5 years in the making.

Bearded bartender Tom Rudman, having spent 4 years mixing cocktails, just couldn't find his perfect gin,
A family move to the heart of the South Downs and with the 'put up or shut up' cries of select friends ringing in his ears, Tom set about persuading his parents that Copper Pot Stills make fantastic garden ornaments.
In 2016 Corner Fifty Three was born. Over the following bitterly cold winter months, with the help of his father and a rapidly dwindling savings account, a crooked but very sturdy home was built. The distillery was finished just in time for the arrival of Rosie and Angus, our much loved, hand built, copper stills.
With Rosie and Angus moved in, the rest of the team was recruited from the ranks of the 'put up or shut up' brigade. Richard Cope, Cris Bowyer and Jamie Williamson all coming on board to help fill the gaps. Together they are building Corner Fifty Three around Tom's idea of independence, creativity and passion (and strong facial hair).
THOMAS RUDMAN
A bartender by trade, Tom is our Founder and Head Distiller. He's the driving force behind our distinctive flavour
combinations and the meticulous development of new projects Working on our three litre still, Tom experiments with new flavours daily, He prides himself on being mad enough to build a distillery in his parents back garden. Includes Abraham Lincoln and fashion genius Mugatu amongst his style icons.
JAMIE WILLIAMSON
As a sommelier Jamie is well trained in tasting faults and inconsistencies in wine and spirits. Working closely with Tom, they test every batch of Corner Fifty Three for any imperfections and blend runs to ensure the best product is always achieved. Jamie is well documented as being the happiest man to ever climb Mount Kilimanjaro and also hates that we chose this picture for him.
