World Gin Day falls on June 14th, what a wonderful reason to grab a glass and pour your favourite G&T and relax in the sunshine!
Gin has been enjoyed since the middle ages, originating in the Netherlands and made with Juniper. It was drunk then because of its medical effects and healing powers. Gins made today still carry the signature taste of Juniper.
The Dyfi Distillery at Corris Craft Centre is just a short drive from the Trefeddian. This where the award winning Dyfi Gin is distilled. After years of experiments & research, Danny & Pete Cameron opened the distillery in 2016. Dyfi Gin is produced using hand foraged local botanicals from the foothills of South Snowdonia. The basis of their work is a sustainable blend of nature, science & family respecting our local fragile environment. The range that they produce and that we stock here at the Trefeddian is Dyfi Original, Pollination & Hibernation Gin which have a strength of 45%, but these are overshadowed by the stronger 57% navy strength Navigation gin.
Why not take a drive to the Corris Craft Centre and see the distillery for yourself? They are open 7 days a week between April & October. They don’t offer formal tours but they are there to chat to and browse around the shop. You can see through the large glass screen and watch as the gin is distilled.
We also serve other gins at the Trefeddian too including Brecon Botanicals, Tanqueray (including non-alcoholic), Gordons, Hereford, Bombay Sapphire & Hendricks, as well as Aberfalls Orange Marmalade, Warner Edwards Rhubarb gin or Pinkster Raspberry gin.
