The Swigg Gin was launched in 2019 by the founders of The Swigg bar and restaurant at Swansea Marina. Both the bar and the gin are named after a buoy in Swansea Bay and it stands for 'South West Inner Green Grounds'. This buoy marks a lost village that was washed away by a tsunami in 1607. The Swigg Gin is inspired by the botanicals found in the Swansea area, including nettles, moorland heather and Welsh honey. 
The Gin Guide Review
The Swigg Gin is a sweet gin with plentiful honey notes, sharing some characteristics of an Old Tom and with a subtly golden hue. When neat, fragrant aromas of orange blossom lead on the nose, and on the palate this is joined by sweet honey, florals and subtly herbal notes. When served with a light tonic the sweetness mellows to give more balance and also elevates the floral characters, with orange and/or rosemary being ideal garnish starting points. - Paul Jackson, 2020
