“We’re thrilled by the success of our Hensol Castle Gin so far and we know this is just the beginning of even bigger and better things. We only launched the range in November 2021 and have already gone on to win numerous awards and are now stocked in some of the biggest supermarkets around Wales; with more exciting announcements to come later this year. The global gin market is expected to hit a value of $20.17bn by 2028; this goes to show just how much people all around the world love gin, unique flavours and creating their own delicious concoctions. We hope that people will continue to love our gin just as much as we do.”
