Boatyard Distillery expands Ireland distribution
The Boatyard Distillery, the independent farm-to-bottle distillery on the shores of Lough Erne, is set to get its award-winning spirits into more glasses across Ireland, thanks to a new partnership with Intrepid Spirits, the Dublin-based global premium drinks company.
Boatyard makes spirits the slow way, using organic ingredients, regenerative farming partnerships, and low-impact packaging, and has built a reputation for both exceptional flavour and integrity
From this month, Intrepid will handle Boatyard’s distribution north and south, meaning Boatyard Double Gin, Sloe Boat Gin, and the rest of the range will be easier to find in great cocktail bars, pubs, restaurants, hotels, and off licences around the island.
“This is a big move for us,” says Ciarán Shannon, brand & market manager at Boatyard.
“We want to be behind the bars where quality matters, mixed into cocktails bartenders are proud to serve, and on shelves where people are looking for something made with care and conscience.
“Intrepid will help us make that happen – and we’ll be able to spend more time working closely with our wholesale partners and the trade right across Ireland.”
Founded in Fermanagh, Boatyard makes spirits the slow way, using organic ingredients, regenerative farming partnerships, and low-impact packaging, and has built a reputation for both exceptional flavour and integrity.
This new chapter with Intrepid Spirits will allow for more time for conversations with bartenders and retailers, and more opportunities for people to taste the distillery’s unique approach to gin-making.
“We’ve admired Boatyard for a long time – they’re doing something special, combining craftsmanship with real sustainability,” says John Ralph, CEO of Intrepid Spirits.
“We’re excited to help get their bottles into more hands, from cocktail lovers to home mixologists.”
For Boatyard, this new partnership continues its focus on growing with intention – keeping the heart and the craft intact, while making it easier for drinkers across Ireland to enjoy what they do best.
