Minke Irish Gin | Clonakilty Atlantic Spirit


A Refreshingly Coastal Gin Inspired by the Atlantic Deep


"Whale," what do we have here? Distilled at the family-run Clonakilty Distillery, Minke Irish Gin is a tribute to the majestic minke whales that grace the Atlantic waters just off the distillery's coastline. This gin captures the wild, salt-sprayed essence of West Cork, utilizing a unique base spirit distilled from whey produced on the family farm.


The standout botanical is hand-picked rock samphire, foraged from the local cliffs along the Wild Atlantic Way. This gives the gin a distinctively maritime character, making it the perfect choice for those who enjoy a gin with a crisp, coastal soul and a sophisticated, peppery edge.
