Artisan gin couple celebrates with summer “Golden Road” cocktail

Jennifer and Phil Wheeler
As the season draws to a close, Golden Road Gin, distilled in the heart of Pembrokeshire’s Preseli Hills, has crafted the perfect end of summer cocktail to mark their recent triumph—a Gold medal at the prestigious Gin Masters Awards in London.
 *The Golden Road* cocktail, featuring 25ml Golden Road Dry Gin, 25ml lemon juice, and 12.5ml elderflower cordial, is shaken and double-strained into a chilled martini glass, topped with prosecco, and garnished with a lemon slice—a refreshing nod to the gin’s golden achievement.
Golden Road Gin, created by husband and wife team Phil and Jennifer Wheeler, is made from 100% natural botanical ingredients in their artisan distillery.
This latest accolade follows a silver award from the IWSC in June, further cementing the brand’s status in the gin world.
Jennifer Wheeler explains:
“The feedback has been phenomenal and any success we are having here on this fantastic adventure is basically driven by our sense of genuine fun and enthusiasm for creating a high quality product delivered with passion, quality ingredients, and meticulous craftsmanship.’
Phil Wheeler added,
‘When we received the silver earlier this summer ahead of the Olympics, Jen joked about going for gold next year.
‘To achieve it just a month later is incredible. We’re looking forward to building on this success with new partnerships and culinary experiences.”
*Tasting Notes:*
Golden Road Gin is a premium, small-batch spirit known for its smooth, balanced flavor, achieved through a careful blend of botanicals and traditional copper pot distillation. It’s perfect for enjoying neat or in a sophisticated cocktail like *The Golden Road*.
