Samantha Long, founder of the Spirits of Bronte Drinks Company, is a ‘Yorkshire lass’ who has lived in Bronte Country for over 30 years. As a lover of small batch gins, she was inspired by the rugged landscape and literary heritage of her local area to create an old-school drink that tasted like when ‘gin was gin’.

With no experience in the drinks industry, she did her research and worked with one of the UK’s leading master distillers to create a recipe that, together with the brand and her story, has won the hearts of gin lovers!
Just a few months after launching, Sam is now partnering with a local distiller which makes the small-batch craft Yorkshire Vodka, and will now be having Yorkshire Lass’ Gin distilled, bottled, and labelled locally using Royal Spring water straight from the Haworth moors!
