Your South Wales Wedding - Page number 10 - July/August 2021 (Issue 80)

DRINK IT ALL IN Devil’s Bridge Rum, made by blending the finest Caribbean rums with Bara brith, Glengettie black tea and Shirgar butter, is a new drink perfect for weddings. The creators, Gregor, Nick and Robin, were inspired by the story of the Devil’s Bridge – a legendary tale of Welsh spirit based on the Cambrian Mountains near Aberystwyth. The team wanted to help showcase the country and its produce to the world by creating a premium brand using Welsh flavours in new and exciting ways. Gregor tells us: “We bring the best of Wales, the best of the Caribbean and the most stunning branding together to make a drink like no other. Despite our brand’s young age, we’re proud to have won two golds in the World Rum Awards. We also won gold in the London Spirits Competition and bronze in the International Spirits Challenge 2021. We want our company to become the biggest premium rum in the UK and are confident we can achieve this.” Head over to www.devilsbridgerum.com for more information.

There’s lots of history too, with castles galore, small market towns and a thriving cultural scene. Wolsey Lodges offer accommodation across Wales with plenty of self-catering options, townhouses, luxury hotels, converted farm buildings and mansions to choose from.
