Small-batch distillation
Crafted in small runs for bold flavour and a smooth finish - perfect for premium serves.
In 2018, out of a drunken idea, Salford Rum was born. For seven years, we ran Salford Rum exclusively - perfecting our craft and grafting at makers' markets until we became a staple of the city.
But Salford has never stood still. In 2026, we evolved. While Rum remains at our core, we have grown into the Salford Distillery. We are bringing that same intuition and standard to our brand-new Salford Gin - built on history, made for what’s next.
Small-batch spirits, distilled in Salford - crafted for bold flavour and smooth serves.

Crafted in small runs for bold flavour and a smooth finish - perfect for premium serves.

Born in the city. Every bottle reflects our Salford roots and modern distillery approach.

Balanced and versatile - great in simple serves, cocktails or simply enjoyed neat.
Our team’s go-to bottles and serves — straight from the distillery.
My go-to is Dark Spice with ginger beer and a squeeze of lime - simple and perfect.
Hidden beneath the Salford railway lines and just minutes from Manchester city centre, The Dirty Old Town Distillery is our home where all our premium spirits are distilled.
