Penrhos Spirits partners with Fortitude Drinks in the UK

15 December, 2025

Penrhos Spirits has announced a new partnership with Fortitude Drinks UK as the brand’s first national distributor.

Founded on a family fruit farm in Herefordshire, Penrhos Spirits began creating craft gins with wonky fruit over seven years ago. 

Penrhos Spirits’ range includes Penrhos Dry Gin, Rhubarb, Apple & Elderflower, Wonky Raspberry and Wonky Strawberry. 

“This new partnership with Fortitude Drinks UK marks an exciting new chapter in Penrhos’ growth journey, expanding our reach across premium retail, hospitality and on-trade channels nationwide. From our very first small-batch distillation, our goal has been to create delicious spirits that save wonky fruit that everyone can enjoy. We are looking forward to the opportunity to expand and grow the brand into new customers and outlets all over the UK,” Charlie Turner, co-founder of Penrhos Spirits, said.

Paul Cornell, brands director at Fortitude Spirits, added: “It is a fantastic gin brand, with a truly unique proposition. Penrhos joins a growing portfolio of partner brands and we have also secured over 3,000 new points of distribution. This has led to Fortitude’s double-digit growth this year and with the addition of Penrhos, its wonky fruit and innovative recycled aluminium bottle, we believe 2026 will be even stronger.”
