The UK’s only distillery located within a castle has launched a brand-new addition to its Hensol Castle range of gins, which is exclusively available to purchase through all major Tesco supermarkets. The Hensol Castle Black Gin will also be joined in Tesco stores by Hensol Castle Welsh Dry Gin and the two new recently launched Judge Jenkins rums.
Hensol Castle Distillery, situated in the cellars of the Grade-I listed Hensol Castle, has been producing its own brand of gin since late 2021. Previously, the gin range consisted of three award-winning bottles: Welsh Dry Gin (41% ABV), Blood Orange Zest Gin (40% ABV), and Wild Strawberry & Hibiscus Gin (40% ABV).
Now, the distillers have crafted an exciting new Hensol Castle Black Gin, infused with hand-picked black Muscat grapes from the castle-walled garden and perfectly paired with black cherries and blackberries. This exclusive gin will be available only in Tesco for the next few months before expanding to other supermarkets.
For a limited time, both Hensol Castle Black and the classic Dry Gin can be purchased at Tesco for the promotional price of £22 per 70cl bottle exclusively for Tesco Clubcard members. Take advantage of this offer until Monday, 18th September.
In addition to the Hensol Castle gins, Tesco will also be stocking the distillery’s new rum range, Judge Jenkins. This marks the distillery’s first foray into the rum market and features two flavors: Spiced Rum (40% ABV) and Maraschino Cherry Spiced Rum (37.5% ABV).
Chris Leeke, managing director of Hensol Castle Distillery, expressed his excitement about the partnership with Tesco, considering it a significant step forward in the remarkable journey of the on-site distillery. He added, “The exclusive launch of our Hensol Castle Black Gin, complemented by our other signature spirits, reflects the dedication and passion of our team. Just recently, we launched into Asda and Morrisons stores throughout Wales, and this partnership with Tesco only furthers our reach and helps us to get great tasting and uniquely flavored gins and rums in the hands of those who enjoy them.”
