Silver Circle Distillery

Silver Circle Distillery was founded by Nina and Joe Howden in June 2019 in Catbrook, Monmouthshire, in the Wye Valley. The distillery began with small-batch spirits drawing on ingredients and flavours associated with the surrounding area, with Nina Howden taking the role of co-founder and head distiller.

The range developed beyond gin to include Silver Circle Aquavit, Black Garlic Vodka and a series of bottled and canned cocktails. The aquavit also reflects Nina Howden’s Swedish background and became the first Welsh contribution to the British Aquavit collaboration with producers in England and Scotland.

In 2024 Silver Circle moved from Catbrook to Upper Meend Farm in Penallt, near Monmouth, part of the Humble by Nature farm. The new site brought the distillery, shop, bar and visitor experiences together in a larger space and provided room for events and further production.
