Full Body
Bont (or Pont), meaning bridge in Welsh, is a crisp, citrusy and balanced, small batch gin. At our micro-distillery, we bridge together a beautiful recipe of carefully selected botanicals from locally foraged wild rosemary to zesty orange peel to create a unique Welsh gin.
Bont Gin is an authentic London Dry (Llundain Sych) – meaning all flavouring and botanicals are added during or before the distillation process and never afterwards. Enjoy Bont Gin over ice with a fresh slice of orange. Pair it with premium tonic or ginger ale. Iechyd Da!

Why the name/cow/white bottle?
Well, our name is a simple nod to our connections with Bridgend (Pen-y-bont) and Cowbridge (Y Bont-faen) but the history behind our gin, our garnish and our bottle runs much deeper… into, believe it or not, milk!
After being founded by brothers in 1947, the hot summers of the 50s & 60s gave Bridgend Creamery a headache as the shelf-life of milk would naturally shorten. However, this gave them the idea to diversify. They adapted their bottling plant to produce an orange juice drink alongside milk, then sold it via their electric floats. The juice was an enormous success and rivalled dairy sales for many years.
The zesty orange flavour profile of Bont Gin and our recommendation of a slice of fresh orange as garnish is homage to that once famous pure orange juice. The cow on our label, our white bottle and the recyclability of it is a tribute to the creamery, it’s bottling plant and the durable, iconic British milk bottle.
