SNOWDONIA DISTILLERY

A team of expert forager’s, botanists and master distillers were put in place. The result is a gin that is delicate, fresh, semi-sweet with subtle, soft floral notes. As yet, they do not do tours, however, they are launching private tasting sessions at their beautiful artisan distillery. Please call 01492 884 992 for more information.
