Distilled in Wales
From gin to Welsh whisky, we meet the craft distillers experimenting with exciting new tastes and flavours.
They maybe small but Welsh spirits makers are leading the way when it comes to innovation. Across Wales there's around 25 independent and unique producers, distilling and experimenting with exciting tastes and flavours to produce a huge array of innovative drinks. Pauline Smith visits "In the Welsh Wind" a distillery in the village of Tan-y-Groes in Ceredigion, founded by Alex Jungmayr and Ellen Wakelam. The distillery prides itself on developing and distilling gins which tell the stories of the places, the people or the businesses that they represent. One of those is the "Welsh Sisters" gin in nearby New Quay.
However, it's not just award winning gins the distillery make - their latest venture is developing a 鈥済rain-to-glass鈥 whisky with locally grown barley, making it one of five whisky distilleries in Wales bidding to ringfence the quality and reputation of Welsh whisky.
