Traditional Irish Gin

How It's Made

Our botanicals are carefully weighed out and peeled fresh for every distillation. While our Irish Gin has a classic juniper taste, we use unwaxed oranges as our main citrus botanical which results in a gin truly to be savoured.

Our expert distillers soak  the 12 botanicals we select for our gin in alcohol for 16-24 hours. We then transfer to the pot of our 300L copper column still and add additional orange slices and botanicals. Then we begin the distillation process.

Once we've distilled the pure gin, we add water to bring it down to 45% ABV and rest it for 2 weeks before hand bottling and labelling.

Winning an OUTSTANDING GOLD award with 99 points out of 100, Copeland Irish gin was also awarded the BEST CONTEMPORARY GIN TROPHY at the International Wine & Spirits Competition 2022, the first Irish gin to ever be awarded the trophy.  Outstanding Gold is awarded by IWSC judges to “an outstanding spirit with a naturally exceptional balance, complexity and power. An example that immediately sets itself apart from others in the category". 

How To Enjoy It

At the IWSC 2022, judges commented on our incredible Irish Gin: " Aromatic and elegant nose with notes of fresh pine and florals, leading to sweet berry and botanical flavours. Ribbons of spice and juniper weave throughout the palate, and the finish has a refreshing bitter kick which draws you back for a second sip. Wonderfully balanced."

Our Irish Gin is perfect when paired with your favourite tonic for a classic Copeland Gin and Tonic or can be used as a base for your favourite gin cocktail.
