The distillery traces back to 1761 when Thomas Dakin began distilling his original gin at the tender age of 25, founding what is now the oldest continuous gin distillery in the world, G&J Distillers. Since then, only the distillery has had only seven master distillers.
The current Greenall’s Gin master distiller is Joanne Moore, who became one of the first female master gin distillers in the world when she was appointed in 2006. Since taking up the reins, she has overseen the creation of four international gin brands: Berkeley Square, Bloom, Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin and Thomas Dakin Manchester Gin, and has led the way for an exciting new era at the legendary distillery.
