BŌKEN Watches x Hawkridge Distillers – Where Craft Meets Adventure

At Hawkridge Distillers, we’ve always believed in the art of storytelling—whether it’s through the distinct notes of our handcrafted spirits or the dedication we pour into every small batch we produce. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce a new chapter in our journey: a collaboration with BŌKEN Watches, the British luxury watchmaker renowned for its adventurous spirit and commitment to craftsmanship. Together, we’re blending our shared passions for exploration, British heritage, and quality to create a partnership that celebrates the thrill of discovery.

Crafting Spirits for the Adventurous Palate

Located in the scenic North Wessex Downs, Hawkridge Distillers has become a trusted name for custom, bespoke spirits that celebrate British tradition while embracing modern tastes. We work with private collectors, exclusive hotels, and luxury events to deliver spirits that capture the depth of flavour and authenticity our clients seek. “At Hawkridge, we’re passionate about making spirits that honour British tradition, yet still offer something unique and modern for today’s connoisseurs,” says James Gurney, Managing Partner of Hawkridge Distillers. “Partnering with BŌKEN feels natural, as we both share a commitment to quality, authenticity, and the art of crafting experiences that go beyond the ordinary.”

A Unique Collaboration: Precision, Passion, and British Heritage

This partnership brings together the worlds of fine spirits and luxury watchmaking, each grounded in meticulous detail and the spirit of British craftsmanship. With BŌKEN, we’re excited to offer a series of events, exclusive tastings, and limited-edition experiences that honour both craft and adventure.

Daniel Banks, Founder of BŌKEN, describes it best: “We’re honoured to join forces with Hawkridge to deliver an experience that embodies the best of what BŌKEN stands for elegance, performance, and an appreciation for the journey. This collaboration represents a true meeting of minds, and we’re looking forward to unveiling experiences that unite our communities in the spirit of exploration.”
