Our new Gin - for Hope House!

Celebrate the true Spirit of giving in simply delicious style: for every bottle sold we make a donation of at least £10 to Hope House Children’s Hospices in support of their crucial work (Registered Charity no. 1003859).

This gorgeous gin is bursting with the flavour of fresh clementines carefully combined with the sweet-sour tanginess of hibiscus, all balanced in our World Award winning floral botanical base. We recommend this Hope House inspired gin be served with Indian tonic and ice. The gin’s beautiful cloudy golden colour comes from its high concentration of entirely natural flavour oils, all eagerly poised to bathe your tastebuds. These may settle in the bottle; simply give it a shake.

Helen Morgan MP Visits Tranquil Still

We were delighted to welcome our MP Helen Morgan to the distillery.

We wanted to discuss the government’s current major review of the unnecessarily complex laws that control the alcohol industry. A lot can be simplified and improved, to everyone’s benefit. And being a small distillery ourselves, we reckon that just as small breweries benefit from a reduced alcohol duty payment, so should we have a reduction from the current swingeing duty we have to pay per litre of alcohol.

Bringing down our tax cost means we bring down our prices while you sup down our drinks.

We say Cheers to that!

Hand Sanitiser - Our Pandemic Response

Remember early 2020 when the global pandemic struck, and hand sanitiser supplies ran out? The government moved quickly to enable distilleries to respond to the global national emergency by making hand sanitiser. We quickly shifted into hand sanitiser production, military transport swiftly arriving as each batch was produced to ship it off to needy hands working on the front line. And as our distiller’s a retired clinical psychologist, well we just had to name it 'Handi Saniti', didn’t we!

This sanitiser is indeed a top notch and truly formidable virus vanquisher, made strictly to the World Health Organisation's recommended Formula 1 at a potent 80% alcohol. We carefully noted the WHO advice that addition of any scent or gelling agents “compromises anti-microbial efficiency”, so our sanitiser remained pure, giving a slightly runnier consistency than those including gel. The WHO recommend this Formula 1 for use globally by surgeons before they have to operate in situations where there is no running water available. Powerful stuff indeed!

Handi Saniti - as featured in the Shropshire Star, on Shropshire Live and heard on BBC Radio Shropshire.

Whilst gin, vodka and rum are far more fun, we are proud to have helped protect our fabulous frontline workers in their battle against covid-19, and to have done some much needed good by making this. We’re happy now to have returned to making our marvellous drinks instead.

Here's one of the 5 star reviews we had

"Best hand sanitiser I have ever had.

As a healthcare practice it is very important to ensure infection control and good health and safety practices always, but moreso during the Covid-19 pandemic. Tony at Tranquil Still changed his business completely during the pandemic to supply hand sanitiser to people to allow them to safely sanitise their hands and continue working as normal.

The hand sanitiser is 80% alcohol as per WHO gold standard - where most of the sanitisers out there are 70% and I have seen a rise of the 60% or less versions available during the pandemic (which I assume is just to make money off people desperate for sanitiser as it is not up to standard for killing bacteria and viruses). Being at 80% the hand sanitiser is the best hand sanitiser I have ever had in my optical practice The Specsplace in Longton. I feel very safe now being able to offer all my patients effective infection control immediately on entering the practice keeping them, my staff and myself safe.

I cannot speak highly enough of Tony and Tranquil Still for the work he has done during the pandemic ensuring extremely high quality hand sanitiser is made to ensure people's safety as there are so many inferior products popping up now praying on people's need for sanitiser. Tranquil Still does the best hand sanitiser going - so if you need some contact Tony at Tranquil Still! Thank you for your great work."
