Centuries later the estate was sold to Royal supporters, most notably the Dukes of Portland and the Countess of Oxford, who ran it as a farmed estate and their own sporting retreat, hosting royals and aristocrats from all over Europe. This continued into the mid 20th century, when it was auctioned off to local tenants and farmers alike in 1945.

My great grandfather, the premier tenant within the park at the time, bought the farm at the centre of the estate and the rest as you say, is history. We have continued to farm and manage our picturesque corner of England since then, and more recently have begun to dabble in the wonderful world of spirits!

After generations of passionate experimentation with homemade fruit liqueurs, made using any abundant fruits the farm hedgerows have to offer, and inspired by our historically Royal surroundings… Sovereign Spirits was born.

In an old barn, converted for the purpose, we have spent countless hours adapting our family recipe to new flavours and concoctions, made using the finest ingredients sourced from far and wide.

It is our sincere hope that you will enjoy our craft liqueurs as much as we have enjoyed perfecting and blending them for you.
