Introducing ‘The Bear’

Fancy a local tipple that’s just that little bit different? Then it’s time to try ‘The Bear’…

‘Pant Y Foel Welsh Gin’ is a Welsh compound gin and rum production company based in the Hiraethog valley – an area of outstanding natural beauty – producing ‘retro’ style products aiming for something a little different.

Current products include Amber, Sweetshop and Cherry Bakewell gins and Honey spiced Rum made with their own honey.

‘The Bear’ is a new product which is a sensational spiced rum spirit drink with vanilla pod and smoked ginger flavours, followed by a carefully selected blend of spices – leaving a slightly peppery, smoky, and salty sweet smooth finish.

Simply enjoy by sipping on its own sat by a glowing fire, serve with a little ice, mix with a high-quality cola or ginger ale – or create your own cocktail!

‘The Bear’ was created in memory of a very special young man called Michael Jones who was the most caring, kind and loving individual you could ever come across.

Michael Jones… alias ‘The Bear’ was nicknamed by his rugby club due to his strength and stamina in the game of rugby.

The reflection of this is shown in the label design, as he wore the number one on his shirt and with Ruthin rugby club colours and stripes. Michael was proud to be Welsh and his surname Jones is also within the label design which was created by the talented View Creative Agency based in Rhos-on-Sea.

The Rum has been designed and produced in memory of Michael to aim to raise awareness of the safety of our young drivers who lack the experience when newly qualified, driving on our roads. As Albert Einstein said: “Knowledge without experience is purely information.”

‘The Bear’ will support the #Protectouryoungdrivers campaign, which will be aimed to raise awareness of key issues facing newly qualified young drivers and will aim to promote safety by addressing some of these key issues, such as road conditions, improving road safety signs, back seat passengers and the use of a black box in the first years of driving. n of a very special young man called Michael Jones
