Nestled in the beautiful foothills of Snowdonia you'll find Snowdonia Distillery, home of Forager's Gin and our bespoke copper still 'Eirianwen' that our distiller Chris Marshall, takes each batch of Forager's though in a painstakingly slow distillation to capture the bright, delicate flavours of the carefully chosen botanicals.
We’ve always talked about the pure Welsh spring water, filtered through our precious Welsh gold, being the perfect canvas for a luxury spirit. Hydrology plays such an important role in the crafting of a premium gin. I have a penchant for gin and I love the ethos at Forager, their brand vision and goals being so closely aligned to my own. We’ve created an exceptional and exquisite gin that will delight aficionados. I’m delighted with our first venture into the world of high end alcoholic beverages.
Located in North Spain, Rioja region, you will find one of the world's finest wineries: Manzanos wines, owned and run by the Manzanos family.
