As Chase’s Tyrrells Chips grew, Chase was searching for the
next step. In 2004 whilst travelling in the USA, looking for
packaging equipment for the chips, he stumbled on a small
distillery making potato vodka and thought this would be a
great new chapter to life. He returned home and decided it
would definitely be more fun making vodka. He researched
the market and found it to be full of a lot of ‘twee’ marketing
stories or large corporate companies. So, he thought there
would be a market if he could make a quality product and
sell it with provenance and pedigree. He sourced a
traditional type of still to make the vodka base. But he
needed a bespoke rectifying column.
