A family Affair

This small batch gin is made using their custom made still, which features a 450 litre copper pot still and two enrichment columns. Fiona and David have just completed a 20-month investment programme, their new stills are now considered to be the most advanced gin still’s in use on the island of Ireland.
Whiskey

Earlier this year they have increased their whiskey distilling capacity by over 500%.

There are also plans to play around with different casks, giving them unique flavour profiles making their whiskey standout and be something of intrigue to their whiskey enthusiasts.
