OUR STORY
CAPTURING THE SPIRIT OF BELONGING
Four Welsh icons united through friendship to create the spirit of belonging. Perthyn was founded by four friends, former Wales and British & Irish Lions players.
Back in 2008, Shane Williams, Mike Phillips, James Hook, and Lee Byrne, found a collective resolve few would have dreamt possible. They created one of the finest legacies anyone can remember by winning the Grand Slam and earning the name, The Fab Four. In that moment, their indescribable bond was formed. Since then, they’ve been looking to recapture that mysterious sense and spirit of belonging. They found that place in Perthyn.
Perthyn low alcohol spirit is inspired by the memory of the grass beneath your feet, the sound of the crowd, the thrill of the game, but most importantly, the friendships formed along the journey. Distilled at Cardiff Distillery using locally and responsibly sourced botanicals to ensure a true taste of belonging, as interpreted by knowledgeable and passionate distillers.
Perthyn honours the traditions and heritage of fine gins but puts its own unique spin on it to add a new dimension to the no and low category.
