A Mid Wales gin maker has won a major contract to export its latest product to the USA.

Dyfi Distillery, based at Corris, near Machynlleth, has created a Dyfi Gin blend especially for American wine and spirits importer Broadbent Selections.

It gives the company access to a huge new market on the other side of the Atlantic, and comes after several years of work bringing the deal together.

The new gin has also been recognised with awards already, winning gold at the 2021 Gin Masters.

“This is really the culmination of a conversation which started six years ago,” said Dyfi Distillery co-founder Danny Cameron.

"But meticulousness does take time to get right.

“We’ve learned to be patient and as the Broadbent teamwork with some of the best in the world, they don’t like shortcuts, just like we don’t like shortcuts.”

Bartholomew Broadbent, president of Broadbent Selections, added: “Dyfi Distillery is an absolutely world class producer and we’re very excited to be working with them.

“We work with some of the very finest restaurants and retailers across the USA and, based on our zero-compromise approach to quality, this phenomenal gin is a perfect fit for our most demanding clients.”

The Dyfi Distillery operates from within the Unesco Dyfi Biosphere Reserve and is, unusually for a distillery of its size, frequently open to passing visitors. It is located in the Corris Craft Centre.
