Hooting Owl

The Hooting Owl Distillery is an artisan distiller of craft Gin based in the historic Barmby Moor House on the main A1079 Trunk Road to Hull at Barmby Moor.

The House has a long history from being a coaching inn, a public house, a country hotel to now being a family home and home to The Hooting Owl Distillery.

Gin is liquor which derives its predominant flavour from juniper berries. Gin is one of the broadest categories of spirits, all of various origins, styles, and flavour profiles that revolve around juniper as a common ingredient.

From its earliest origins in the Middle Ages, the drink has evolved from a herbal medicine to an object of commerce in the spirits industry. Gin was developed based on the older Dutch liquor, jenever, and became popular in Great Britain (particularly in London) when William of Orange, leader of the Dutch Republic, occupied the English, Scottish, and Irish thrones with his wife Mary between 1689 and 1702.
