Out with the old...

Galway loves gin

Thu, Apr 06, 2017

The craft beer revolution is in full swing and has well and truly whet consumers' appetites for higher quality beverages.

Whiskey distilleries had begun to pop up across the country over the last few years. Since whiskey is required to be in a cask for three years to earn the Irish stamp of approval, many operators struggle to survive long enough to break even. Gin, however, does not suffer from the same limitations. The process of making gin is quicker than whiskey, no long ageing in barrels or intricate blending of different casks is required.
