The Inspiration

The picturesque & rugged Wild Atlantic Way is home to our Distillery in Kinsale, and where we blend our small batch Irish Gin.  It is also Ireland’s most scenic route to explore, which starts or ends in Kinsale, depending on your chosen path. We believe that the same can be said for Irish Gin – it starts and ends with Blacks.

Taking inspiration from our roots, we have created a modern Irish Gin boasting a unique citrus & spice fusion, with a Wild Atlantic twist. Featuring thirteen carefully selected botanicals, freshly cut citrus peels, hand cracked juniper berries & vapor infused Irish heather flowers, picked locally along on the Wild Atlantic Way.
