We saw this place from the main road ( used to be a dreadful looking pub) and we were pleasantly surprised. We were greeted at the door by a very informative lady - we could not got in to the whole building due to COVID restrictions but she explained about the gins they distill there. We ended up buying a bottle. Would go next time for the full gin tasting experience

Reviewed By Fletchasketches

We took the distillery tour and then did a tasting, followed by a delicious meal. Doug was a great guide and even though they were incredibly busy preparing shipments for Christmas, he took the time to explain everything to us in detail. The tasting was fantastic; it was so interesting to see how different tonics and garnishes changed the character of the drink. The tour was topped off with a great lunch at the restaurant and a perfect serve G&T. I highly recommend this Masterclass, and of course buying a bottle of Cygnet gin to take away with you!

Aber Falls Whisky Distillery

Reviewed By AlisonE425

We went on a dark wet afternoon to visit Aber falls for a tour. We where shown around by Ruth who explained the whole process of whisky and gin distilling. We cannot wait for 2021 to get a taste of their first whisky after three years and one day of aging in their casks. We saw how the botanicals where mixed for gin production and went on to the visitor centre for a lovely tasting session with Ruth explaining what to pair with your gin choice and how to get the best out of your gin or liquer The new visitor centre looks very impressive and with a cafe and roof top bar area it’s going to be a very pleasant experience to just pop over for a drink and a nice meal. Well done Aber Distillery- keep up the great work

Tucked away quite a way down an attractive lane you come across an old farm which is home to a fascinating whisky distillery and cheese makers. Everyone was very friendly, informative and knew their products well. Compared to distilleries in places like Islay this is tiny (one very small distilling room) but their story and how the gin and whisky is producted was no less interesting. There were plenty of gin samples to taste but few whisky ones as production is currently quite limited and in its infancy - all of which were very interesting. The whisky and gin may not have been cheap to buy but this is a specialist distillery and prices seemed fair to us. The Dutch lady who talked to us about the cheese was again really informative, amusing and interesting and there was a good range of welsh cheeses to taste - from very mild to extremely strong. We bought some cheese to take to friends later that day who also really enjoyed the 3 varieties that we had bought. It was great to visit something that was small scale and owned and run by people who were passionate about what they were creating.
