Rich in History, Bounded by Tradition. Kinsale Spirit Co is home to Kinsale Gin & Red Earl Irish Whiskey. Kinsale Spirit Co is creating a portfolio of unique innovative spirits and building our own distillery in Kinsale, Ireland.

Both our gin and our whiskey have been a huge success with the launch of the gin in 2016 and whiskey in 2020. Our Gin is famous for being the flavour of the Kinsale countryside. We go the extra mile to hand pick local botanicals to produce complete perfection. Every one of our treasured 21 botanicals have been carefully chosen to bring something spectacular to our bottle. Gathered seasonally and sensibly, we see that enough is left behind for the local wildlife and ensure future growth. We combine floral notes of meadowsweet, elderflower and elderberries with an exotic aroma of lemon verbena & lemon geranium to dance around spicy juniper. The sweetness from the elderflower combined with the bitterness of our juniper berries create a balanced yet exquisite explosion. Each drop is a sensation! Following the fight for freedom from the Crown at the Battle of Kinsale, 1601, seeking aid from allies in Spain, Red Hugh O Donnell, Earl of Tyrconnell, was reputedly poisoned by an Anglo-Irish double-agent & buried in Spain. Red Earl Irish Whiskey, a tribute to his story, is first aged in bourbon, then sherry and finally matured in Rioja casks. Triple-casking delivers roundness of flavour, lengthy finish & an exceptional aroma.
