Sibling Gin Hoping To Raise £35,000 Through Crowdfunding To Build New Distillery

Four entrepreneurial brothers and sisters, behind the premium gin brand Sibling, have launched a new crowdfunding bid.

They are hoping to raise £35,000 through pledges, to help them create a new gin distillery, near Cheltenham in the UK, and expand their business.

The race is on, as the entrepreneurial siblings - who are the world's youngest distilling team - only have until 4pm on October 25th to drum up the funds.

According to the siblings, "We’ve been planning a crowdfunding campaign for about 6 months now. We have some amazing rewards set up. We are just finalising which platform to us.

"Since we launched, we have been housed in a small room at the end of Battledown Brewery, which those of you who know us, already know belongs to our parents. It’s been a great low risk way of getting into the industry, and has served us well as we learn the trade and build our reputation.

"However, our production has increased more than four-fold since our first year, so now we are at bursting point. We’ve found an amazing space to move into, which is an incredibly exciting opportunity for us, but to really make the most of it we need to buy the kit that will increase our production to the volume we need.

"We also need to renovate the building so that we can host tours and events as well as open a tasting room and office space for staff."
