Michelin-starred chef and Great British Menu winner Tom Shepherd is bringing his renowned culinary expertise to the world of spirits with the launch of Twofold Spirits, a premium brand created alongside his wife, Charlotte. Known for his innovative approach to flavor, Shepherd is applying his deep understanding of balance and craftsmanship to create spirits that are both complex and approachable.
Drawing from his experience in some of the UK’s most celebrated kitchens—including those of Sat Bains and Michael Wignall – Shepherd is taking a chef’s perspective on distillation. Twofold Spirits is all about layered, intriguing flavours designed for those who enjoy exploring new taste experiences.
“In cooking, I focus on how flavours interact and evolve,” Shepherd explains. “With Twofold Spirits, I’ve taken that same approach, crafting spirits that are balanced, exciting, and full of depth.”
The brand’s launch lineup features two distinct spirits, each reflecting Shepherd’s signature attention to detail and adventurous palate:
• Banana Rum (40% ABV) – A rich, aromatic rum infused with natural banana, toasted caramel, and vanilla, delivering a smooth and subtly sweet profile. Perfect for tropical cocktails, a simple mix with ginger beer, or sipping neat over ice.
• Thai Green Gin (40% ABV) – A bold take on gin, inspired by the vibrant flavors of Thai cuisine. This spirit is infused with juniper, lemongrass, coriander, kaffir lime, and a touch of red chili, offering a fragrant and slightly spicy twist on a classic.
Designed to be sipped, mixed, or paired with fine cuisine, Twofold Spirits brings a fresh perspective to distilling, blending traditional techniques with a chef’s instinct for flavor harmony. Whether enjoyed in cocktails or as a standalone experience, these spirits invite drinkers to explore something new.
Twofold Spirits is now available exclusively at www.twofold-spirits.com and select retailers, with bottles starting at £38.
