What Happens When You Distil a Mushroom Into a Gin?
When Greg set out to distil a mushroom, he wasn’t chasing novelty — he was chasing flavour. Using the X17 Gin recipe as the base, he distilled and later infused Lion’s Mane mushrooms from Skipworth Mushrooms, drawing out layers of honey, brioche, citrus and caramel. The result? A copper-hued gin that’s rich, aromatic, and utterly unique — a spirit born from curiosity and crafted in true Beyond style.

The Barrel Named Dodgy Trials (And What Happened to It)
Every distillery has its experiments, but not all are meant to see the light of day. Our “Dodgy Trials” barrel — a gamble batch of Yuzu Brandy — sat untouched for a year before we cracked it open. The result? Anything but dodgy. Bright citrus, warming spice, and a one-off release you’ll want to get your hands on before it disappears.
