Sylva ORCHARD

Sylva ORCHARD is an aged non-alcoholic spirit made in small batches from British fruit wood and malted barley. Created to celebrate the abundance of harvest season, ORCHARD is fruit-forward with gentle smoke, evoking warm memories of late summer days when the air is sweet with ripened fruit and the fields have been gathered for the year. Smooth, nuanced, and deeply comforting, it’s a spirit that captures the feeling of time slowing down as the season turns.

On the palate, ORCHARD unfolds in layers. Notes of ripe apple, pear, and plum meet the smooth malt character of barley, rounded by soft vanilla and a touch of woodsmoke. A faint herbal spice lingers on the finish, giving balance and structure. The experience is full-bodied yet elegant, made to be savoured slowly.

Whether served neat, over ice, or long with soda, Sylva ORCHARD offers a sensory escape, a reflection of British craft and the natural world that inspires it. Small-batch and sustainably made, it’s a spirit that celebrates nature’s rhythm, craftsmanship, and the beauty of slowing down.

Nestled in the Colne Valley on the Suffolk border, the Sylva distillery and maturation lab is home to a world-first process that transforms grain and wood into complex sipping spirits. As true nature enthusiasts, the Sylva team goes to great lengths foraging, selecting, and preparing the most flavourful cereals and woods from the British countryside. Maker Ben Branson has pioneered a unique distillation and maturation technique that coaxes depth and warmth from over 200 tree species and locally grown cereal varietals. The result is a dark, refined spirit that you can sit down with, take a moment, and truly sip.
