Beara Distillery enters 10th international market

Irish gin producer the Beara Distillery has entered its 10th global market after celebrating its first anniversary.

The Beara Distillery was founded in October 2017 by John Power, Eileen Brennan and Valerie Power

Beara Distillery, which produces salt water-infused gin and pink gin, was established in October 2017 by John Power, Eileen Brennan and Valerie Power.

The County Cork distillery’s gins have this month launched in Holland, Poland and France, meaning the brand’s products are now available in 10 markets worldwide.

John Power, co-founder of the distillery, said: “We are a small team of four, crafting a great gin that we love to share. The past year has been fantastic, a real learning curve. We have come a long way in one year and are enjoying the journey.

“We’ve built the business so far on the strength of the relationships that we have formed within the industry and it’s on that basis that we intend to go forward.”

Beara Distillery’s salt water-infused spirits are also available in the UK, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Denmark, Italy, Jersey, Norway and Sweden.

In the coming years, the distillery hopes to launch in further European markets, Asia and the US.

Power added: “We are currently searching for enthusiastic importation partners in international markets who, like us, are passionate about sharing great products with people.

“The support of Bord Bia and the local enterprise board has been absolutely fantastic – from trade missions in export markets to social media training, web design assistance and employment and capital grants. The help of both these organisations has really driven our growth.”

The distillery was founded after siblings John and Eileen saw a gap in the market for a local product with providence from the Beara Peninsula, the pair then decided to create their own spirit inspired by the area.

The brand is now looking to expand its range with the launch of a salt water-infused vodka.
