Hensol Castle Distillery’s Welsh Dry Gin has won an award at the prestigious World Gin Awards 2023. The ceremony, which showcases the best gins from all over the globe, saw Hensol Castle Distillery’s Welsh Dry Gin win the award for ‘Best in Country’. It will now go on to compete to win the title of ‘World’s Best Classic Gin’.

The Welsh Dry Gin also scooped a gold medal in the ’Classic Gin Category’, while the distillery’s two flavoured gins, which were launched in February 2022, also made the award podium. The Blood Orange Zest Gin won a silver medal and the Wild Strawberry and Hibiscus Gin won a bronze medal in the ’Flavoured Gin Category’.

Chris Leeke, Hensol Castle Distillery’s managing director, said: “To be recognised on this prestigious platform, competing against some established names, is a huge success for our relatively new distillery. Despite only opening in 2021, we’re already racking up the accolades. Our success is a testament to the skills of our master distiller and the hard work of our team, and it puts us in good stead to continue our offering throughout 2023 and beyond.”

Hensol Castle Distillery’s range is available in Asda and Morrisons and throughout restaurants, pubs and bars in South Wales. It has also secured sponsorship deals with Cardiff City Football Club and Glamorgan Cricket to become the official gin supplier of both clubs.

You can even treat your friends and family to a gin miniature to celebrate your big day, which are perfect as favours. If you’re getting married at Hensol Castle, the bottles can be personalised to include your names alongside the date of your wedding.
