Boatyard Distillery
Boatyard Double Gin
The Boatyard Distillery is situated on the banks of Lough Erne, County Fermanagh, North West Ireland. Boatyard is Fermanagh’s first legal distillery since 1890. Our story began with a dream in 2013 when our founder, Joe McGirr, imagined returning home to his native Enniskillen. Joe grew up on a nearby dairy farm, and the McGirr family are always a part of what Boatyard does. The distillery takes its name from the disused Boatyard that it’s built on. It makes us unique as a distillery, as visitors can arrive just as easily by boat as they can by car.

Production Technique
Organically produced wheat spirit is macerated for 18 hours with 8 different botanicals, including Sweet Gale which has been harvested from the family farm. he ‘double’ in Boatyard Double Gin refers to our distillation process and a purist’s approach of placing juniper at both the start and end of the process. The juniper first rests in wheat spirit in the still along with other organic botanicals. Our final spirit then flows through juniper once again in our vapour chamber. This double contact method, which Dutch genever distillers would term ‘dubbel gebeide genever’, results in a more pronounced juniper flavor.
