Irish Gin with a Dublin Accent

Countless new Irish gins have been introduced to market recently, but only a handful of them have what it takes to begin scooping major international awards in a highly competitive marketplace. A handcrafted London dry style gin from husband and wife team Jim O’Connor and Sheila Cooney, Dublin City Gin is produced in small batches of only 600 bottles using a unique recipe that includes organic rhubard grown along the Grand Canal in Dublin itself. This “Irish Gin with a Dublin Accent” was awarded Gold super premium at both the Global & World Gin Masters and most recently won Best European Craft Gin 2018. It has also triumphed at Blas na hEireann, the Irish Whiskey Awards, Global Gin Masters and more.
