Discover our Welsh Dry Gin

Winner of a Great Taste Award 2021, Barry Island Gin delivers a fresh botanical quartet of blood orange, lime, thyme and grains of paradise. Blended with the purest Welsh water and made right here in the Vale of Glamorgan.

 

Fresh and citrus-forward, Welsh water brings softness whilst subtle spice notes elevate the citrus to deliver a rounded taste that is beautifully balanced. Perfect for sipping over ice, as a martini base and it makes a beautiful gin and tonic.

 

Distilled in copper hybrid pot and column stills for an exceptionally high quality spirit, we think our premium craft gin is best served over ice with an Indian tonic and slice of lime. Iechyd da!

​

Why not try our Welsh gin for yourself, order online from us or buy a bottle from one of our stockists.

​

ABV: 40%

Welsh Dry Gin produced in London Dry Gin Style!

Our small batch premium craft gin is produced in London Dry Gin style (meaning it's infused with botanicals through the distillation process with no colour or flavour added after distillation).

 

So why don't we call it a London Dry? Because we want to shout about our Welsh roots!

 

Distilled in the beautiful Vale of Glamorgan in South Wales and blended with Welsh water we're proud of our gin's Welsh heritage which is why we've called it a Welsh Dry Gin!

Praise and Reviews for Barry Island Gin

Barry Island Gin and tonic

"A beautifully balanced gin, fine for sipping over ice, but equally at home with a dash of tonic and slice of orange. There's a delightfully soft aromatic lead on the nose. Orange is dominant, but backed up by bright, yet rounded spice notes.

 

“Love has gone into the making of this. Really well made. Great as a G&T or Martini base.

Barry Island Welsh Gin

“Barry Island Gin was the perfect choice for our Gin of the Month. Its freshness, lime and blood orange aromas have made it a firm favourite with our guests.

​

It simply is one of the best gins we have come across for some time.”

— Lowri Jones, Head Sommelier at The Hinds Head in Bray - the Michelin starred pub run by world renowned experimental chef, Heston Blumenthal and part of The Fat Duck Group

"Juniper is paired with sweet sherbet on the nose and hints of orange and peppery  hues (the latter coming from the alcohol I think, rather than pepper botanicals). Smooth with licks of sweetness, pleasant grippy, eau de vie style tannins and fresh acidity. Warming to finish with more orange notes now and some warming spice. I'm sure even with tonic this would be marvellous but for me this is martini grade gin.  Good stuff!!"

— Ben Franks, FRSA

"Soooo good. Barry Island Gin sets out to use the freshest botanicals and using only the purist welsh water!

 

A true Welsh gem here... using a blend of botanicals that aims to give the perfect balance of juniper, citrus and spice!"

Juniper Berries

The vital component in gin and the dominant element to Barry Island Gin. These delivery notes of pine needles, freshly cut wood and dry spice. Juniper berries must be present and perceptible in order for a spirit to legally be called gin. Barry Island Gin is 55% juniper dominant

Thyme.png

Thyme

A classic combination, thyme brings out and balances the bittersweet citrus flavours of the blood orange and lime. Providing warming floral notes to Barry Island Gin. The end result is classic and classy.

Spices

Coriander seeds deliver savoury lemon citrus and a soft Asian spice.

Fresh Lime Peel

Morish and deeply refreshing, the fresh lime peel in Barry Island Gin delivers a clean, fresh citrus bite to balance the rounded, almost floral blood orange notes
