The story behind it

The maker

Founded by Gareth Irvine in 2016, The Copeland Distillery revitalized the coastal town of Donaghadee's distilling heritage with a commitment to local coastal botanicals and premium spirits. Moving into a historic former cinema and bottling plant, they create award-winning gins, whiskeys, and rums inspired by Irish maritime history.

How it is made

Crafted at The Copeland Distillery in Donaghadee, Northern Ireland, this rum pays homage to the 18th and 19th-century smugglers who frequented the local coastline. The double-cask maturation process utilizes ex-bourbon and Pinot Noir casks to extract deep color and character.
