The Copeland Distillery only opened its doors for the first time in 2019, and its tasty Copeland Traditional Irish Gin features 12 carefully selected botanicals including pine needles and cubeb berries. On the palate, this gin gives notes of piney juniper followed with caramelized orange and a long lingering subtle spice that coats the tongue.
The Copeland gin range includes Rhuberry Gin, a mix of rhubarb and blackberry, and Raspberry and Mint Gin.
In the famous lakelands of County Fermanagh more taste sensations are emanating from a relatively new arrival on the scene, Boatyard Distillery. Only the best organic ingredients are chosen to make each small batch craft gin.
The award-winning Boatyard Double Gin was the first to be released from the distillery and is the very essence of Fermanagh. It is brought to life with botanicals from the founder’s family farm, including a foraged sweet gale. A second product, Boatyard Old Tom Gin, has notes of candied lemon peel, vanilla and cinnamon spice, with a silky orange finish.
Meanwhile, Killowen Gin, distilled near the village of Rostrevor in the Mourne Mountains, places seasonal botanicals to the fore, many of which are handpicked from the slopes of the iconic mountains. The result is an unusual gin celebrating the maritime and highland environment of the area.
