Welsh and proud, the Aber Falls distilling team scour North Wales’ beautiful landscape for locally-sourced botanicals! Their spirits are made using water from the Rhaeadr Fawr (the famous Aber Falls waterfall). For the first time ever I think I have discovered a gin which I actually prefer neat than with a mixer; so that I can enjoy all that orange, Hobbs-like attitude and exuberance. James Wright, managing director at Aber Falls Distillery, said: “The introduction of this classic liquid marks an important milestone for us as we extend our range of gins, styles and flavours, and continue to achieve high quality and consistent spirits to satisfy growing demand.

The Orange Marmalade Gin uses the intense citrus flavours to perfectly offset the piney juniper, leaving a refined and balanced taste of sweet and bitter orange flavours with a delicious warming aftertaste. The 6,000-square-meter building has stood since the 19th century, opening initially as a slate works, before it became a margarine factory during the world wars. More recently it was a drinks wholesaler depot for Halewood International, and it was the Liverpool-based drinks conglomerate who reimagined the space and subsequently set in motion plans for refurbishment and restoration in 2017. Further developments are currently underway, and a visitor centre will open in 2018 offering tours and classes. With subtle spices and tart rhubarb, perfectly balanced by distinctive piney juniper notes, leaving a warming sensation and complemented by a taste of ginger to finish. Zesty – almost fizzy – citrus with both lemon and orange upfront, similar to a St. Clements soda. Followed by more botanical notes such as juniper and angelica. Sweet – midway between gin and a liqueur.A burst of fresh citrus flavour, finely balanced with notes of juniper, liquorice, angelica and coriander seeds.
