Dà Mhìle Distillery, Glynhynod farm, Llandysul, Ceredigion, Wales, UK. |
John Savage-Onstwedder is an organic farmer and is one of the founders of Teifi Farmhouse Cheese. In 1992, armed with organic barley grown on the farm, he arranged for Springbank Distillery in Cambeltown, Scotland to produce an organic whiskey. This would mature in time for celebrating the forthcoming Millennium. The result proved very successful and this spurred him on to starting his own distillery. The idea took shape and begun its journey in 2009, with the required licensing and sourcing of suitable distillery equipment. Using a 350-liter still, designed by Dr. Klaus Hagmann from Germany, the distillery was finally established in 2012. The distillery is run by John’s eldest son John-James, first producing an Orange Liqueur, quickly followed by an organic Gin and more have followed. Tours and tastings are available by prior arrangement. |
