The first gin to be made from whey! Special yeasts are added to the whey to convert the milk sugars into alcohol; this is then distilled by hand with 18 different botanicals* (locally foraged and grown where possible) and pure natural Irish spring water.

“Finding their unique angle” was actually the easy bit; they wanted to mirror the field-to-fork philosophy practised at Ballyvolane House.  Justin’s childhood home and former dairy farm, Ballyvolane literally translates from Gaelic as ‘the place of the leaping heifers’, a testament to the fertility and natural diversity of the land on which the estate lies. The much-lauded Ballyvolane House practices a field-to-fork philosophy when it comes to food, and naturally, they wanted to echo this by championing a grass-to-glass approach for their spirits.

We know what you’re thinking: what are they thinking??? but trust us: this is one fabulous gin that you have to taste for yourself.
