The distillery becomes a destination within a destination, attracting curious tourists who wish to explore the very heart of the craft. Boatyard Gin’s reach extends beyond local boundaries, emerging as a shining example of Northern Irish craftsmanship on the international stage. Its export success brings recognition to the distillery and bolsters the country’s reputation for producing premium spirits. The Gin Acts of the mid-18th century attempted to regulate gin production and sales in Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK. However, their effectiveness was limited, leading to a subsequent shift in focus towards quality control. Creation of Regulatory Measures Boatyard Gin is more than a distilled beverage; it is a living embodiment of history, craftsmanship, and community. Its story unfolds through the layers of its creation – from the maritime inspirations that birthed its name to the hands that lovingly select and blend its botanicals.

Export & International Recognition Again, the juniper is strong but not overpowering, allowing the other flavours to establish themselves.

McGirr says, “ Through development I saw massive consistency discrepancies in the juniper that we were getting. We now have organically certified juniper from Bulgaria which has been the most consistent and high quality I have seen.” One of the most interesting points about Boatyard Double Gin is that it goes through a process of filtration through juniper berries during the first distillation. This is where the term Double Gin comes from, and is a practice used commonly by Dutch Gin makers. Today, gin stands as a symbol of British craftsmanship and tradition, with its roots deeply entrenched in a history that reflects its complexities and enduring allure. The History of Boatyard Gin Founding Boatyard Double Gin has a complex flavor profile with a strong juniper presence and hints of citrus. The distillery does not chill filter the gin, which leaves more of the juniper oil in the final product, resulting in a gin that is rich and flavorful. Of course, Whisky takes a long time to mature, so in the meantime, Boatyard are turning to spirits like Gin and Vodka. Beyond tangible economic impacts, Boatyard Gin helps bolster the local community’s identity and pride. The distillery is a cultural anchor and an emblem of the region’s heritage and aspirations. The distillery is in a very scenic area of Northern Ireland.
