About The Spirit Of Wales

Our Distillery
Igniting the flavour of the dragon
There are more castles per square mile in Wales than anywhere else in the world, six hundred to be exact. We recently declared our Spirit of Wales’ distillery castle number 601. It is fair to call ourselves a castle when we house sleeping dragons who ignite our spirits.
REIMAGINED AND REFINED
Premium Distillation Process
Spirits
When we create our refined artisanal gins, vodka, and rums, we juxtapose flavour by selecting botanicals from the Welsh landscape. We also source sustainable materials for processing our spirits, like the Welsh coal used to filter our Welsh vodkas.
Tastings
We approach flavour from a scientific point-of-view combined with the creative potential in everyday food, spices, smells, and tastes that mix that we reimagine to expose the new. Join us for a guided tour and taste the award-winning Steeltown and Dragon’s Breath Spirits.
Distilling hours
Spirit of Wales drinks are premium and refined, meaning you do not have to add much more than a tonic or another mixer, with a higher percentage in ABV, so one shot will do for sipping, mixing or cocktails.
Perfect Serves
