Measuring beaker, features 'Azlon' trademark, made from polypropylene by Scilabware, Stone, Staffordshire, England, used to produce hand sanitiser during the COVID-19 pandemic by WL Distillery, Bessemer Rd, South Hetton, Durham, England, 2018-2020.

WL Distillery was one of the first independent distilleries to switch production from gin to hand sanitiser in March 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, when there was a shortage of sanitiser in the UK and globally.

WL Distillery's founder and managing director Scott Wilson-Laing personally delivered bottles of sanitiser, free of charge, to frontline paramedics, NHS staff, police, local charities, and individuals in high-risk categories unable to obtain sanitiser from shops and other suppliers.
