In The Welsh Wind Distillery was founded by charismatic young couple Alex Jungmayr and Ellen Wakelam after they walked the entire 1,047 miles of coast and border around Wales – by which point they’d had a good chance to think about what they wanted to do with their lives. Making gin was it.

Aberaeron

A charming Georgian port town on the Cardigan Bay coast of West Wales. Aberaeron retains its Georgian character with elegant brightly painted town houses and is still a focal point for the rural communities in mid Cardiganshire.
