Tesco is set to launch products from Welsh-inspired spirits brand, Eccentric Spirits Co across its stores in Wales.

The brand’s Cardi Bay Vodka and Black Batch Rum, which is produced by Cardigan distillery, In the Welsh Wind, hit shelves on 17 April and is available in more than 50 of the Big 4 grocers stores.

This comes as the first major retail partnership for Eccentric Spirits Co, which it hopes will ‘elevate’ the brand and expand its consumer base.
