FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Cascave Gin? 

Cascave Gin is a premium Welsh gin brand based on a family farm in Crai, Powys, on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Founded and run by a mother and two daughters, we produce three award-winning small-batch gins - Cave Aged Gin, Stormy Gin and Premium Dry Gin, each made with mineral-rich water hand-collected from the Dan yr Ogof cave system.

What is Cave Aged Gin? 

Cave aged gin is a spirit that has been matured underground in oak casks rather than in a traditional warehouse. Our Cave Aged Gin spends 180 days in port-seasoned oak barrels deep within the Dan yr Ogof cave system in the Brecon Beacons, at a constant temperature of 10°C. The cool, consistent conditions develop exceptional smoothness and complexity over time, producing a naturally amber gin unlike anything else on the market.

What makes Cascave Gin different from other Welsh gins? 

Cascave is the only gin in Wales - and one of gin in the World - to be cave aged underground. Our Cave Aged Gin is hand-carried into the Angel Passageway of the Dan yr Ogof cave system and matured in port-seasoned oak barrels for 180 days. We also use mineral-rich water hand-collected directly from the caves in every gin we make, giving each bottle a genuine connection to this specific landscape.

Where can I buy Cascave Gin? 

Cascave Gin is available to buy directly from our website at cascavegin.co.uk, with free UK delivery on orders over £35. We also supply selected independent retailers, hotels and bars across Wales and the UK.

What awards has Cascave Gin won? 

Our Cave Aged Gin has won a Great Taste Award and been recognised at the World Gin Awards with a Silver medal. Our Stormy Gin was chosen as Craft Gin Club’s Gin of the Month in January 2024. We have also received recognition at the Wales Distilled Awards and the Wales Prestige Awards.

What does Cave Aged Gin taste like? 

Cave Aged Gin has a smooth, naturally amber character with notes of vanilla, red fruit and gentle oak warmth from the port casks. The mineral-rich cave water gives it a distinctive clean finish. The Great Taste Awards described it as a gin with real character and a pleasing twist.

What is the best Welsh gin gift? 

Our Cave Aged Gin and our Welsh gin miniatures gift set are both popular choices for gin lovers. The miniatures gift set contains three 6cl bottles - Cave Aged Gin, Stormy Gin and Premium Dry Gin; beautifully presented in a bespoke gift box and gift-wrapped on the farm. It is ideal for birthdays, Christmas and special occasions.

Do you offer gin tasting experiences?

Groups of 6 to 12 guests can taste all three of our award-winning gins and hear the full Cascave story. Experiences are available from £20 per person and can also be held at your accommodation nearby. Book via cascavegin.co.uk

What is the Dan yr Ogof cave system? 

Dan yr Ogof is part of the National Showcaves Centre for Wales, one of the most extensive cave systems in the UK and a Site of Special Scientific Interest in the Brecon Beacons. Our Cave Aged Gin is aged in the Angel Passageway, deep within the system, with the kind permission and generous support of the Price family who manage the National Showcaves Centre.

Is Cascave Gin suitable as a gift? 

Cascave Gin is gift-wrapped by hand on our farm and makes a genuinely distinctive gift for gin enthusiasts, foodies and anyone who appreciates something with a real story behind it. We offer free gift wrapping and free UK delivery on orders over £35.
