Irish Small Batch Gin
Small Batches
When we say small batch, we mean it in the literal sense. Every run is produced in limited quantities and monitored from the first botanical to the final cut. There is no industrial scale, no automated shortcuts, and no mass production in the background. Each batch is made with intent, giving us control over flavour, balance, and character in a way you can’t get when you chase volume.
Every bottle is numbered to mark its place in the run. It’s a straightforward reminder that this is a limited production made with real attention, not a product pushed through a high-output system. Small batch for us is a standard, not a slogan, and it’s the foundation we build on as we continue to grow.
Handpicked Botanicals
Foraged on The Ring of Kerry
The Ring of Kerry Gin is a blend of 17 carefully selected botanicals, with our Core 4 at the centre: honeysuckle, gorse, fuchsia and heather. These botanicals grow wild along the roadsides and mountains of the Ring of Kerry, and every one of the Core 4 is foraged by Matthew. Chosen for their deep connection to this landscape, the Core 4 reflect the natural beauty and distinct character of the Ring of Kerry, infusing every bottle with the spirit of Kerry. When the ingredients come from the landscape itself, the gin carries a true sense of place and a flavour that cannot come from anywhere else. It means there is a bit of Kerry in every bottle and gives the gin a strong and honest connection to the region for anyone searching for authentic Kerry gin. These botanicals are supported by additional carefully selected herbs and spices. Together they create a balanced and aromatic flavour profile that pays genuine tribute to the land of Kerry.
GORSE
Gorse contributes a unique, creamy richness that enhances the gin’s complexity
FUSCHIA
Fuchsia offers a subtle fruity sweetness, creating a refreshing and slightly tart note that balances the other botanicals
HEATHER
Heather’s earthy, slightly herbal flavour brings a grounding depth to the gin
HONEYSUCKLE
Adds a soft, floral note that brings a light, fragrant touch to the gin
Distilled IN KILLARNEY
Distilled in Killarney-The Ring of Kerry
Our latest batch of The Ring of Kerry Gin was distilled in Killarney on the Ring of Kerry itself. Distilled with care and precision, the process captures the essence of Kerry’s natural beauty and combines it with traditional techniques to produce an authentic gin with a clear sense of place.
Killarney also provided the right working conditions for this batch. The combination of steady workflow, reliable support and a location closely tied to the landscape made it the ideal place to bring the gin together. It allowed the batch to develop naturally and maintain the standard expected of a small batch spirit.
