The Story

The King of Prussia, Tristam Davey, Cruel Coppinger – Cornwall has no shortage of famous smugglers in our rugged history. They smuggled in rum, they smuggled in gin, but most of all they smuggled in brandy, lots and lots of brandy.

In this spirit, we’ve formed our own motley crew of loveable rogues, including Skreach, Jonathan Gould, and Bearded Brewery, to bring you multiple variants of our Smugglers Reserve Cornish Cider Brandy.

After bootlegging the finest cider from around the county, we get to work double distilling in our copper pot still, Jackson. The distillate is then left to mature in a variety of oak casks on the wild Cornish coast. The result is a smooth modern take on this classic and much-loved spirit.

We’d love to share an elaborate, well-structured story with you here about how everything we’ve done led to this point. The truth is that we all worked and lived together in bars in central London. We made loads of friends, had lots of fun, and created all kinds of memories – most of which we can’t talk about on the website.

Maybe, more importantly, we all learned lots and lots about spirits and fell in love with their rich history. Abandoning the crowds of London for the wilds of Cornwall, we are pouring all that experience into Pocketful of Stones.
Here, we invite you to join in our journey…
