500mL | Distilled & Aged Non-Alcoholic Spirit
sip neat | ultrasonic maturation
Nestled in the Colne Valley on the Suffolk border, Sylva’s pioneering distillery and maturation lab is where innovation meets craft. Maker Ben Branson has created a world-first distillation and maturation process — transforming British grain, fruit wood, and over 200 tree species into remarkable aged non-alcoholic spirits.
Sylva ORCHARD, the third release in this limited series, is crafted in small batches from British fruit wood and malted barley. The result is a beautifully layered spirit that’s fruit-forward and gently smoked, evoking slow days on the farm and that golden moment when harvest fades into autumn.
Smooth, aromatic, and quietly complex — this is a spirit to sip, savour, and reflect with.
Sip slowly over ice or long with soda.

Release Story
My first “business” as a young boy was not a lemonade stand but selling Victoria plums and Pippin apples to people in our village. Ripe, sweet and delicious orchard fruits synonymous with the end of Summer coupled with fond memories of sitting with my grandfather harvesting our barley.
The first time we experimented distilling barley and tasting plum and apple wood, it took me straight back to those memories and I became giddy at the thought of creating a release celebrating Orchards & harvest.
We selected English regenerative pale malt Barley from Muntons down the road in Suffolk as our base distillate for its wonderful raisin and biscuit character. Plum wood from a family with orchards in Wales, Apple wood from the iconic orchards of Worcestershire and cherry wood from our own wild cherry trees which we smoked using cherry wood itself.
Sylva Orchard’s fruit and gentle smoke forward profile embodies a sense of time and place celebrating hazy days and harvest. Easy over ice, vibrant long with soda or indulgent in a Manhattan or Old fashioned style cocktail.
