HCD as we like to call ourselves is wholly owned by the Leeke family who have built a business portfolio that includes the long-established Leekes Retail group, the success Vale Resort and Hensol Castle, a grade 1 listed 17th century castle that just so happens to have large empty cellars. These cellars now house our distillery and contract bottling plant as well as a top-class visitor attraction and gin school. We are extremely proud of the spirits and liqueurs we produce with our gins already receiving plaudits and awards and our market-defining Trulo range of reduced-calorie liqueurs seemingly taking the market by storm.

In 1897, the current managing directors great grandfather started a small ironmongery business that quickly grew, we like to think that the same guiding principles of hard work, honesty, respect and integrity that drove James Henry Leeke are the same values that drive us today.
