Christos Kyriakidis, who runs the distillery and neighbouring Mad Platter in Usk with his partner Polly Langford, said he always harboured dreams of opening his own distillery.

With many years of experience in the world of gin, including at established brand Plymouth Gin, Mr Kyriakidis believes that the wave of gin popularity will roll on for many years to come.

As many of the ingredients as possible used in the distillation process at White Hare are locally sourced - some from less than a mile away.

As well as creating award-winning spirits themselves, there is also the chance for visitors to White Hare Distillery to have a go at making their very own batch.
