Distiller of Dingle Gin ups production to meet demand

It is part of a cocktail named after royalty and a favourite tipple of Graham Norton but Dingle Gin has also become a phenomenon in Irish bars, with a quarter of a million bottles sold in the country in the last year.

The distillery behind the award-winning spirit, which has become one of the country’s most fashionable drinks, is producing between 800 and 1,000 bottles a day but it still falling far short of demand.

But with a new copper still just installed in its Kerry distillery, orders for more than two million bottles from all over the world can be filled next year.
