Our creation, a true classic. Our own blueberries, cherry blossom and honey combining with subtle flavours of pink pepper, cardamom and rose petals to create an extremely smooth fresh and pure gin. The perfect gift for any gin lover.
TASTING NOTES
The initial distinctive fresh summer aroma warms the mouth as the Mediterranean juniper stimulates the senses. Light unassuming floral notes lightly cascade through the flavours as the combination of rose petals and cherry blossom come to the fore. Combined with our wibbly wobbly blueberries, Penrhos Dry gives an exceedingly smooth and rounded finish.

Why Choose Us
What makes us different
Penrhos is a family-run business which cares about it’s customers. We grow and harvest fruit and crops grown specifically for the production of our amazing Gin and Liqueur.
About Us
For the longest time, we have been gin lovers, the perfect way to unwind after a long day in the fields and one day we just asked ourselves… why not? As lifelong friends, we have always plotted and planned and we realised we had the perfect answer. Our wives Sally and Kate soon realised this was more than a mid-life crisis and joined the team.
Our Vision
Our vision was to create small batch, artisan, cropper distilled spirits using our orchard and farm botanicals, grain spirit and our own natural water.
Why it tastes so great
We don’t add any more alcohol to stretch the number of bottles from each run. Whilst not the most economical way of producing Gin it enables us to keep all the best flavours a craft gin should possess.
Our Process
Our small-batch production uses traditional copper pot distillation, distilled in a 147 litre Carl still called Connie; fondly named after Dickie’s grandmother, who used to rear calves in the barn, now used to house the distillery.
Step 1
Ingredients
With our strong farming roots, our spirits use ingredients carefully grown by us or that are local to our distillery, foraged, found or farmed. From the fragrant blossom of our cherries to the uplifting scent of our blueberries our spirits are evocative of their rural roots with every ingredient carefully selected with reason.
Step 2
Soaking
Our fruit is soaked in alcohol for 24 hours which enables all the fruity flavours to be released. The remaining botanicals are then added for a further 24 hours which allows all the fantastic aromas and essential oils to fuse together.
Step 3
Distillation
The mixture of botanicals, grain spirit and water from our own farm supply are added to the copper pot and gently heated until the alcohol vapours start to lift, carrying the fabulous flavours of our fourteen different botanicals.
Passing slowly through the copper helmet the alcohol is purified and then cooled and collected. The Heads are removed and the Tails recycled leaving us with the wonderfully tasting Hearts that hold all the magical flavours which are then blended with filtered water to a bottling strength of 40.5% ABV.
Final Step
Resting
We rest the gin for 48 hours before bottling it all in our barn – truly a handcrafted spirit. The process is called Single Shot Distillation.
We don’t add any more alcohol to stretch the number of bottles from each run. Whilst not the most economical way of producing Gin it enables us to keep all the best flavours a craft gin should possess.
