Could it be hat-trick for a local gin which has been shortlisted for a national award?

The Dyfi Distillery in Corris, which was the first producer to win the Best British Gin title twice, has been shortlisted again for the 2019 award.

After winning this prestigious trophy from the Great British Food Awards in 2017 for their Pollination Gin, and in 2018 for Dyfi Original Gin, it’s their Dyfi Original which has made the 2019 shortlist.

“It’s both a great honour and slightly surreal to be in the final stages of this amazing competition once again,” said Danny Cameron, one of two brothers who opened the distillery in early 2016, after over two years of research.

“Our ethos has always been based on quality over quantity, so that every finished bottle which leaves the distillery is an uncompromising reflection of people and place.”

Sustainability is also core to the business, recognised when they recently became the first ever distillery to be highlighted in the UN Support The Goals programme.

The Dyfi Distillery operates from within the Dyfi UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, and is, unusually for a distillery of its size, frequently open to passing visitors.

It is located within the Corris Craft Centre, a hub for thriving independent craft producers.
