Media personality Maia Dunphy, social media sensation Adam Kelly, Olympian Jack Woolley and artist Barbara Bennett were among a host of well-known faces who gathered at The Marker Hotel’s rooftop bar in Dublin to celebrate the launch of Dingle Gin’s new bottle design, the first redesign in the brand’s history since its launch 13 years ago. To mark the occasion, The Marker rooftop was transformed into an immersive tribute to the wild beauty of the Dingle Peninsula.

Natural reeds, grasses, moss and foliage inspired by the Dingle Peninsula were used throughout the venue, transporting guests from the heart of Dublin to one of Ireland’s most spectacular landscapes. As the evening sun reflected off the waters of the Grand Canal below, projection mapping created shimmering wave reflections across the walls of the venue, mirroring both the sea surrounding the Dingle Peninsula and the intricate ripple detailing featured throughout the new bottle design.

The event also served as the official unveiling of Dingle Gin’s brand new Orange & Sea Salt flavour, with guests among the first in Ireland to sample the eagerly anticipated new release.

The flavour proved an instant smash hit, quickly becoming one of the most ordered drinks of the evening, second only to the classic Dingle Gin and tonic.

Speaking during the celebrations, Elliot Hughes, managing director of the family run Dingle Distillery Group, said: “We have been so excited to reveal our new bottle design today. Years and years have gone into creating this new look, but the time and effort has been so worth it. Our bottles now truly reflect the Dingle Gin brand and the very best of Dingle, the very best of Ireland. The best quality, the best ingredients and now the best design. That is Dingle Gin.

“But we have so much to celebrate tonight as we also introduce our new Orange & Sea Salt Dingle Gin flavour for the first time. I can’t walk three feet tonight without someone stopping me to tell me how delicious the new flavour is. I’ve honestly been smiling ear to ear all evening. This is our first large scale introduction of the new flavour and it’s incredible to see it proving such a smash hit.”

Guests enjoyed a live DJ set from Kelly-Anne Byrne and a selection of exquisite food created by The Marker Hotel’s culinary team, with dishes thoughtfully infused with Dingle Gin, as celebrations continued long into the Dublin summer evening.
