About Porthcawl Distillery

The story behind Porthcawl Distillery As best friends since school, we always dreamed of setting up a business together, but life always seemed to get in the way. One dark winter evening in 2021 we decided to take the plunge – and Porthcawl Distillery was born. We wanted to create something unique, using hand-picked local botanicals and paying homage to the wonderful coastal town we call home. With detailed research and planning (we drank a LOT of gin!), our vision became reality and the original Porthcawl Welsh Dry Gin launched in June 2023, with exciting new flavours joining the range soon after. Porthcawl Distillery is a family run business that is fully independent, something we are incredibly proud of. Every spirit we create is unique thanks to our truly small batch and individual approach. We ensure that the origin of all of our premium Welsh gins have their roots firmly planted in Wales, using locally sourced botanicals at every opportunity, ensuring a true taste of the coastline. We are based in the grounds of the Sandville Self Help Foundation, nestled in a lovely wooden cabin. Our premium spirits are distilled in our beautiful 50L copper pot; all stills need a name and a personality, and ours was christened ‘Elvis! Like the other Elvis, we hope ours will bring joy and happiness to the world and leave you crying out for more! And, of course, our beloved Porthcawl is home to the iconic Elvis Festival every year, one of the biggest Elvis festivals in the world – so the name was meant to be! Chris & Glenn
