How many distilleries are in the UK?
It depends what you count. There are roughly 400+ HMRC-licensed distilleries in the UK, but well over 800 producers make gin, and the number has grown sharply over the past decade. We list notable, visitable distilleries region by region and expand the directory continually — it is a curated guide, not a complete register.
