In the Welsh Wind distillery has struck a major deal with luxury department store Harvey Nichols to stock two of its award-winning craft gins.
It is the first major partnership with a UK retailer for Cardigan-based In the Welsh Wind, which has been proactively seeking new avenues to market for its distinctive spirits.
The west Wales distillery will supply its premium-brand Signature Style gin (RRP £49 / 43% Vol / 70cl) and its limited-edition Palo Cortado Cask-Aged gin (RRP £52 / 43% Vol / 70cl) to Harvey Nichols stores in Knightsbridge, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester and Bristol.
The partnership also includes In the Welsh Wind delivering a series of in-store tasting days beginning with Harvey Nichols’ Birmingham Mailbox store on Saturday October 15th.
Ellen Wakelam, co-founder and director of In the Welsh Wind Distillery, said: “It’s hugely exciting for us to be stocked in such a high-profile retail outlet. We’re looking forward to taking part in tastings with Harvey Nichols’ shoppers and introducing our gins to new audiences outside of Wales.”
Nick Bell, beer & spirits senior buyer at Harvey Nichols said: “I am a huge fan of what the team at In the Welsh Wind are doing, making truly great gin with a real sense of place. The story is wonderful, the bottles look fantastic and more importantly, the gin itself is a real treat. I look forward to seeing what they launch in the coming years.”
