White Hare Distillery

White Hare Gin was originally launched in 2018 by Christos Kyriakidis who had previously worked for Plymouth Gin before returning to Wales to open a series of bars and finalling settling in Usk and buying The Mad Platter Microbar & Kitchen. After selling over 400 bottles of White Hare Gin to locals, Christos established White Hare Distillery on the high street of Usk in 2020. The name and branding are inspired by Christos' favourite animal and the artwork of Katie Hough.

The Gin Guide Review: White Hare Original Gin is bold and flavoursome with abundant piney juniper, rich and oily pink grapefruit, and dry, herbaceous rosemary. The aromas are full and enticing, giving a fitting introduction to the flavour profile that is delivered on the palate, before a finish that is herbal with pine and warm with cassia and coriander seeds. With Tonic Water, the flavours hold true for a G&T with plentiful character and very enjoyable botanical combinations. - Paul Jackson, 2022

Meet the Makers

"I worked for the famous Plymouth Gin before coming back to Wales to settle with my family in Usk after buying The Mad Platter Microbar & Kitchen. I launched White Hare gin in October 2018, inspired by my favourite animal and by artwork by Katie Hough. Having sold over 400 bottles to locals exclusively via social media, I decided to establish a presence on the high street and open my dream venue, the White Hare Distillery." - Founder & Distiller, Christos Kyriakidis
