ARFON'S MP and AM have praised the ongoing investment at Aber Falls Distillery following a recent visit to the site.

Hywel Williams MP and Siân Gwenllian AM's tour of the building coincided with the recent opening of the distillery's visitor centre.

The new centre offers guests the chance to see how Aber Falls' award-winning range of Gin’s and Liqueurs are produced.

The distillery recently achieved five prestigious medals at the 2018 San Francisco World Spirits Awards, one of the spirits industry’s most respected competitions.

Following his visit to the site, Hywel Williams MP said: "It is great to see this local business go from strength to strength and we are delighted to hear about plans to expand the venture.

"Aber Falls Distillery is fast-establishing a worldwide reputation for excellence, yet they remain committed to working with local Welsh businesses and communities.

"Their commitment to the local sourcing of ingredients and people is exemplary and I would like to wish them every success for the future."

Aber Falls Distillery's managing director James Wright added: "We’re really driving to be a keystone in promoting the country at both a national and international level, by putting North Wales firmly on the whisky and spirits map.

"Our recently opened visitor centre, which currently offers tastings and tours, adds an extra dimension to the Distillery and we look forward to welcoming more visitors looking for attractions in the region."
