Eldridge Pope & Co. Eldridge Pope & Co. has been part of Dorset’s drinks heritage since 1833, when the name first became known across the county.

Today we carry that tradition forward as a small distillery at Wrackleford, crafting gin and liqueurs by hand in small batches.

Four bottles. Four very different pours. Which one are you reaching for? 👇

Are you keeping things classic with our Dry Gin, going fruitier with Pink, choosing the rich countryside character of Sloe, or pouring a glass of Special Edition Wrackleford Dry Gin?

Each has its own character, but they all have one thing in common: a little piece of Dorset in every bottle.

So, if these four were sitting on the table in front of you… which one are you pouring first?

Tell us in the comments below: Sloe, Dry, Pink or Special Edition Wrackleford. 👇

Spotted somewhere in Dorset… 👀

Look closely and you might notice a familiar name.

The Eldridge Pope name has been part of Dorset for generations, and little pieces of that history can still be found hiding in plain sight today.

Old signs, wall lanterns and architectural details bearing the Eldridge Pope name still remain across Dorset - reminders of a story that stretches back nearly two centuries.

We came across these old Eldridge Pope wall lanterns recently. Do you recognise where they are?

And this isn’t the only place you can still spot a piece of EP history…

Next time you’re out and about in Dorset, keep your eyes peeled. If you’ve spotted an old Eldridge Pope sign, lantern or logo somewhere, tell us where in the comments - or send us a photo. We’d love to see what you find.

Happy hunting! 👀

Think you know pink gin? Think again. 🌸

This isn’t the sweet, fruit-led pink gin you might be expecting.

Our Eldridge Pope traditional Pink Gin starts with the same hand-foraged Dorset botanicals that give our Dry Gin its character, before a traditional addition of Angostura bitters brings warmth, complexity and that unmistakable blush.

It’s a method with history, inspired by the way the Royal Navy added bitters to gin in the 19th century. and the result is something altogether different from the modern pink gin crowd.

Bold. Dry. Distinctly West Dorset. And at 40% ABV, it has plenty of character.

Keep things classic with a quality light tonic, plenty of ice and a slice of pink grapefruit. Or, for something crisp and simple, pour with soda water and a squeeze of lemon. 🍋

There’s more to this pink bottle than meets the eye.

Sloe season has arrived. 🍂

Hand-foraged from hedgerows across the Dorset countryside, our sloes are steeped slowly to draw out their natural fruit, depth and that proper dry-sweet balance.

No artificial flavourings. No added fruit juice.

Just a rich, smooth Sloe Gin made the way it should be - and the way it has been made for generations.

Serve it simply over ice, lengthen with tonic and a slice of orange, or add a little fizz with prosecco and a squeeze of lemon.

From the Dorset hedgerows to your glass.

The bank holiday might be over, but we’re not quite ready to call time on summer yet. 🌿

From the Dorset countryside to the bottle, our Wrackleford Dry Gin is perfect for those slower, end-of-summer moments.

A glass poured outside, a little evening sun and one more excuse to make the most of the lighter evenings.

How are you stretching out the last of summer?
