A profusion of natural botanicals. Pleasingly smooth on the palate, hints of citrus, mint and star anise.
ABOUT US
The Bonac Spirits Distillery was started by father and son team, Michael and Gavin Clifford. A long time shared passion, Michael and Gavin toured many distilleries wanting to discover how great spirits were made, who was making them and hear the story of the people behind the brands.They had often bounced business ideas off each other, and were always on course to open a family business when the time was right.
OUR GINS
After graduating college, Gavin emigrated to the U.S. and was inspired by the craft drinks movement there while working in the hospitality industry. After many phone calls home to Michael discussing the possibilities, the pair realised they may be able to turn their passion into a business.
Gavin returned home, and they immediately began to research their new adventure. In 2016, they set up the business, started to build out the distillery which is located in Co Wicklow, and began to develop their first product, an innovative Irish gin.
