Mangrove

Mangrove was created by Nick Gillett and John Coe of Coe Vintners, as a fully autonomous specialist spirits and liqueur distributor. Mangrove works closely with knowledgeable ex-bar professionals to create a UK distribution network that gives its specialist brands a platform to achieve their full potential in both the UK on and off-trade.

Every product in the Mangrove Porfolio has been hand-picked for high-quality, authenticity and innovation e.g:

• Williams Chase Distillery: This is a family run distillery in Herefordshire. Since 2008 they have been using traditional, hand-crafted methods to make the only English Potato Vodka. As well as this classic Vodka they also produce ‘Naked Chase’ Apple Vodka, a selection of fresh fruit liqueurs and the newest product, ‘Williams Gin’, which is the first gin in the world to be made using apples. www.chasedistillery.co.uk

• Ron Santa Teresa Rum: This is an independent Venezuelan family-owned business built on more than 200 years of tradition. The Vollmer family brings 21 st century style and technology to the production of the finest aged luxury rums. Known for its community projects, the family set up ‘Project Alcatraz’ which gives violent gang members an alternative life to prison, in a local rehabilitation programme. www.ronsantateresa.com; www.proyecto alcatraz.org
