Wild Moon Distillery in Wrexham Wins Three Great Taste Awards

Wild Moon Distillery’s Welsh Witch Lammas Vodka, Mabon Rum, and Spiced Rum have all received a Great Taste 1-star from the Guild of Fine Food’s expert panel, the world’s most respected food and drink accreditation scheme.

Based in Wrexham, North Wales, Wild Moon Distillery was founded by Jade Garston, at the young age of 33. Since 2019, they have been creating premium spirits, including Vodka, Rum, and Gin, filled with natural flavours.

From the 13,672 products judged, Wild Moon Distillery is overjoyed to have won three 1-star awards at the world’s most prestigious food and drink awards.

From the judges: The judges praised the Lammas Vodka, launched in July 2023, as “really smooth, almost sweet (almost vanilla or honey-noted) and warming with a good booze kick but in a very pleasant way.”

The Original Spiced Rum, which has evolved over the years, was described as “Beguiling and complex with hints of cloves and rowan berries, delivering a pleasant mouthfeel and a reasonably dry tannic finish.”

One judge noted a reference to traditional Welsh Bara Brith, saying, “In the mouth, it really is like a tea-soaked fruit loaf with candied peel and a dark crust.”

The Mabon Rum, launched in September 2023, captures the essence of nature and the fruit harvest, with judges describing it as “Very highly palatable with the pleasant sweetness supported by the spices. Nice and easy drinking.”

Jade, Founder of Wild Moon Distillery, expressed: “We are super thrilled to have won 3 Great Taste awards for our spirits this year. We are so proud to be adding these prestigious badges of honour to our very own Lammas Vodka, Spiced Rum, and Mabon Rum. We’re a family-run distillery that has been creating spirits since 2019, so to be where we are today is truly a dream come true.”

“Being recognised with a Great Taste 1-star for 3 of our products this year means so much to independent producers such as myself, as it makes all the hard work and determination worth it! It’s a huge moment for us and we’re excited to celebrate!” Jade concludes.

Inspired by Welsh pagan folklore and brewed with natural botanicals, each spirit is produced in small batches, hand-crafted, and blended with pure Welsh water. Wild Moon Distillery’s award-winning spirits have received widespread acclaim.

By combining nature’s finest ingredients with their expertise and passion, they believe their spirits create magical moments infused with Welsh spirituality.
