Shortcross moves to B&F
Barry & Fitzwilliam has secured the Irish distribution rights to Shortcross Gin.
Founded in 2012 by Fiona and David Boyd-Armstrong, the husband-and-wife team set out to create a gin with a vision of re-defining what an Irish gin should and could be, while becoming the first gin to be distilled in Northern Ireland.
“Our distillery stands proud as Northern Ireland’s first award-winning craft distillery and home to Ireland’s Most Awarded Gin,” said Fiona Boyd Armstrong.
“The addition of Shortcross Gin, Ireland’s most awarded gin, to our current portfolio will give our customers an unrivalled choice of premium Spirits,” said Michael Barry Managing Director of Barry & Fitzwilliam, now Ireland’s largest independent drinks distributor, carrying over 100 international premium brands of wines, spirits and beer.
The portfolio includes products from multi-national drinks groups such as Jagermeister, McGuigan Wines, Rémy Cointreau, ILLVA Saronno, Villa Maria, BrewDog and now, Shortcross Gin.
