Located in Abergwyngregyn village, near Aber Falls Waterfall, Aber Falls Distillery was founded in 2017 and produces whisky, gin and liqueur.
After Reviewing their Single Malt, their distillery was on my 'must see in North Wales' list.

Before the tour started I had enough time to grab a cup of coffee and a sandwich from the cafe - both very good.
After that, I read some bits of information found in the visitor centre and had a quick look at their shop.
The tour started in a room close to the shop (next to the barrels you see above) with a quick informative video about the Distillery, continued outside where the actual distillery is, and then finished close to where it started, with a small tasting session where you can sample a few of their whiskies or liqueurs.
Overall, it was a nice distillery tour with friendly service and tasty whisky - I cannot fault them in any way.
As with Penderyn Distillery, photography/video recording is not allowed during the tour, so if you want to see what their pot still looks like and exactly how whisky is made at Aber Falls Distillery you will have to book a tour.
Aber Falls also has a 'Gin Lab Experience' where you can create your own gin recipe - this one takes around 2 hours, costs £65 and it's separate from the distillery tour. I haven't tried this one yet, if you have, please let me know in the comment section below how it went.
