Ahascragh Distillery
Xin Gin was launched in 2021 by Michelle and Gareth McAllister while they were overseeing the rebuilding and expansion of a derelict 19th century mill building to create Ahascragh Distillery - Ireland's first eco distillery. The distillery runs on renewable energy and produces Irish whiskey and gin, as well as housing a visitors centre, café and shop. Xin Gin is inspired by Michelle and Gareth's time living in Asia and features botanicals such as persimmon fruit, and the name 'Xin' means 'heart' in Mandarin.

The Gin Guide Review: Xin Gin in a contemporary and distinctive gin, bringing together classic juniper and citrus character with floral rose, the honey and melon notes of persimmon, subtly exotic pineapple, and further Asian influence from lemongrass and cinnamon. It is a characterful, flavoursome and fragrant gin when neat, and with Tonic Water the flavours unite for a G&T that further showcases the enjoyable combination of juinper, fruitiness, herbs and citrus. - Paul Jackson, 2022

Meet the Makers

"Having lived and worked in countries across the world, we returned to Ireland with the dream of turning our passion for craft Irish spirits into a family business. When we visited the old mill in Ahascragh, County Galway, we fell in love with its story: the beautiful stonework, the history of the buildings and the character of the small village drew us in." - Founders, Michelle & Gareth McAllister
