This is an incredible achievement and we are incredibly proud of Nick’s hard work and dedication over several years of gruelling study to achieve the pinnacle of professional distilling qualifications.
– Daniel Szor: Cotswolds Distillery Founder
Nick has been involved with the development of The Cotswolds Distillery since its inception by Daniel Szor, whom he met at an IBD-led distilling course in Edinburgh. His interest in artisan spirits was piqued at an early age when tasting his Italian relatives’ homemade liqueurs and spirits.
I am really looking forward to continuing with my distilling journey at Cotswolds Distillery and creating new and exciting expressions.
