Adnams is a renowned English brewery and distillery based in Southwold on the Suffolk coast. Founded in 1872, when brothers George and Ernest Adnams acquired the Sole Bay Brewery, the company has built a legacy spanning over 150 years. While brewing has always been at the heart of the business, Adnams expanded into distilling, establishing its distillery around 2010 and becoming one of the pioneering names in the modern English whisky movement. As part of the broader craft distilling revival in England, Adnams crafts spirits that reflect its coastal Suffolk surroundings and its deep-rooted commitment to quality and innovation. The distillery is counted among the leading English whisky brands alongside names such as Cotswolds, Lakes, and Oxford Rye. Adnams brings the same meticulous approach that has defined its brewing heritage to its whisky production, resulting in spirits with a distinctive character rooted in English craft traditions. Beyond whisky, Adnams has earned recognition as a UK Top 10 independent wine merchant, according to Harper's Wine and Spirit magazine, underscoring the company's broad expertise across the world of drinks. With a turnover of around £75 million and a legacy hailed by figures including Prince William, Adnams stands as one of the most celebrated and versatile drinks producers in England.
