The Cat & Fiddle, sitting at 1689 feet, is Britain's highest altitude whisky Distillery
Once a famous old coaching Inn opened in 1813, the Cat & Fiddle is now the home of Forest Whisky. This is where we distill local grains with wild yeasts and our own spring water to produce rare, single malt English Whisky. Also on site, we have a take-out shop open daily, alongside intimate tours and tastings. If you just fancy a drink by the fire, then comfy seats are also available, but please be advised that these are by pre-booking only.
Due to the high demand, all tables and events must be pre-booked using the links below.

The Little Shop & Gin Garden
Our Little Shop & Gin Garden, our little shop & bar is situated in the beautiful historic Pavilion Gardens in Buxton.
You can take in the picturesque views whilst enjoying a cold G&T in our little gin garden, or pop into our shop where you can grab yourself a bottle of our award winning Forest Gin or Whisky. For those strange folk who don’t enjoy spirits, we have a curated range of wines and local beer as an alternative treat.
Chat with our weasels in the store who will tell you the story about how we began and will tell you all about our spirits and the perfect serve! We also offer regular samples and tastings.
Also available is a large range of hand selected wines from around the world, so there is certainly something for everyone, alongside a range of local gifts, pottery and homeware.
