The Clonakilty distillery, located on the south coast of Ireland, has been owned by the Scully family for eight generations. Characterized by the mild Atlantic climate and the fresh sea air, this region offers ideal conditions for the cultivation of rock samphire - an essential ingredient that gives Minke Gin its unmistakable maritime note.
Inspired by the majestic Minke Whale, this artisan gin is made from whey produced on the family farm. This exceptional base gives the gin a soft, creamy texture and sets it apart from classic distillates. The combination of traditional and regional botanicals ensures a harmonious balance of fresh sea breeze, gentle spice and finely tuned herbal aromas.
A unique Irish craft gin that captures the essence of the Atlantic coast in every sip.
