A NEW gin distillery has opened in Four Marks near Alresford.

Gorilla Spirits Co is now producing Silverback Mountain Strength Gin, with a 46 per cent abv from its base at Station Approach.

Its bosses say the spirit and distillery have been two years in the planning and the new drink is being well received.

The company is working closely with The Gorilla Organization to help save the world’s last remaining gorillas from extinction, by donating £1 from every bottle sold.
