Pure Welsh Passion
Welsh Superstar Mezzo Soprano, Katherine Jenkins OBE, founded Cygnet in 2022. When Katherine discovered a little-known Welsh spirit in 2021, she was inspired to create her very own range of premium spirits, hand-crafted in her home country of Wales.
The world-class gin has been developed by the Cygnet team to off er an exceptional ‘Best in Glass’ experience.
In collaboration with her husband Andrew Levitas, the artist and social-impact filmmaker and Eric Villency, who designed products such as Peloton and Rock Star Energy drinks.
Katherine designed the beautiful reusable glass bottles, brand logos and selected the botanicals for the new Cygnet spirit range.
Cygnet 22 is a true disruptor and one of the first gin products designed to be sipped or enjoyed with your favorite mixer.
Liquid Passion
Park and Landway Farms have been farmed by the Thomas family since 1958. Prior to this the Thomas family farmed a couple of miles away at Guiltar Grove growing early potatoes
during the 30’s and 40’s. Their son Harry joined the farming business in the late nineties. Since then with the
unfortunate demise of the Pembrokeshire early potato industry as it was, the farm has focused on building a successful arable enterprise growing wheat, barley, oilseed rape and beans. A large new grain store was put up in 2011 to improve harvest operations and provide a large grain drying facility for the farms grain.
The next part of the jigsaw sawthe set up of their own crushing plant to produce Pembrokeshire Gold Extra Virgin Cold
Pressed Rapeseed Oil om some of the rapeseed produced. Hopefully this new venture will help secure the family farm for the fourth generation.

It all started back in 1990 om humble beginnings, when founder Alan Wenden saw a need to create a tea which would compliment Wales’ wonderful water! His meticulous
work & dedication resulted in the creation of our original everyday tea – a blend of quality Indian & African teas… and TA-DA… Welsh Brew Tea was born!

Finest beans, roasted with passion
Fab Four Coffee, founded by former Welsh rugby players James Hook, Lee Byrne, and Shane Williams, started as a passion for coffee before leading to a business opportunity.
Prior to Fab Four Coffee, the Wales and British & Irish Lions players spent almost all of their time together, so when the day came to go their separate ways, they knew they had to
find a way to still work together.
Some may think that starting a Welsh Coffee Brand is a far reach from Welsh Rugby, but with their passion for coffee and love for their country, the boys decided to start Fab Four Coffee offering top-grade coffee sourced from seasonal coffee regions throughout the world roasted in the heart of UK.
​Artisan Welsh cheese
Cheese Making began in the family as far back as 1903 with Carwyn Adams great, great, grandmothers Lizzie Wyn and Leisa Jones making cheese for the family and to sell at the
local market. The tradition stayed in the family until 1987 when Gwynfor and Thelma
Adams (Carwyns Parents) rekindled the family tradition and Caws Cenarth was born!
Crafting organic, fresh-flavoured cheeses for over three generations, Caws Cenarth is the
oldest established producer of Welsh Farmhouse Caerffi li (PGI).
Welsh liquid gold
Distilling in Wales was a lost art, but in the late 1990s, in a Hirwaun pub in the Welsh
valleys, a group of friends chatted about establishing the first whisky distillery in Wales in over a century. They dreamt of creating a whisky as pure and precious as Welsh gold,
represented today by Penderyn’s ‘gold seam’.
The village of Penderyn was chosen because of the site’s own supply of fresh natural spring water.
A unique copper single-pot still designed by Dr David Faraday, a relative of the great 19th-century scientist Michael Faraday,
was installed in 2000, which produces a spirit at an industry
high draw of 92%, meaning Penderyn’s whiskies are light,
fruity and flavoursome.
