We like to champion local producers here at Aber Falls Distillery Visitor Centre, whether it's hosting artisan stallholders, selling local produce in our shop and café or showcasing local artists on our café walls, But, this producer couldn't be any closer to us.
Alun from The Snowdonia Honey Co. got in contact with us recently wondering if we would be interested in selling his Honey in our shop as the hives were local to us. So local in fact that we can see the hives from the distillery!
We jumped at the chance and are thrilled to be able to tell our customers exactly where the honey comes from. The honey is 100% Natural, unpasteurised, and packed with raw honey goodness.
And do you know what goes well with Honey? Well, our Whisky of course!
And not just the traditional hot toddy, but how about a Honey Old Fashioned?
