About In the Welsh Wind Distillery
In the Welsh Wind Distillery is an award-winning distillery, based in Tanygroes, just north of Cardigan on the west coast of Wales. Specialising in the production of premium spirits including gin and 100% Welsh whisky, the distillery houses a shop, open Monday - Saturday and most Bank Holidays 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Visitors are welcome to simply call in during opening times. In addition, we offer bookable Distillery Tours, Gin Making and Gin Tasting Experiences to visitors.
The 2-hour Gin Making Experience begins with an introduction to the gin making process and botanicals and how to create a bespoke botanical profile for your gin. You will then operate one of the custom designed and made mini-stills, through the heads cut, collecting the heart of the run and blending with good Welsh water before tasting and bottling your very own gin.
If you prefer to get stuck in and sample the gin that is distilled by the team at In the Welsh Wind, you can book in for a Gin Tasting Experience. After a welcome G&T, you will be provided with samples, a tasting card and all the information you need to taste 3 Welsh gins. Once you have enjoyed all 3 samples on offer, a second G&T will be offered - choose from one of the gins you have sampled, or another gin from the range. The Gin Tasting experience includes a tour of the distillery and visitors are able to purchase more drinks once the tasting has ended, until the distillery closes at 5 p.m. Non-alcoholic tastings are available for those who cannot or do not wish to drink.
A Distillery Tour is an option if you have less time to spend with us but want to know more about what makes our award-winning distillery tick. Get a 'behind the scenes' look at everything goes on here at the distillery, led by a member of our team, and if you have time, stay for some free samples!
