The Global Gin Boom Washes Ashore in Ireland by Jonah Flicker writing for Vinepair
Irish whiskey has been on a tear over the past few years, with sales value increasing by 22 percent in the U.S. and 18.5 percent in all markets over the first half of 2017.
But gin is the fastest-growing spirits category in Ireland. There are now 30 Irish brands available, and global exports tripled in volume in 2016. The Irish Spirits Association expects these numbers to increase this year, which means there will be even more Irish gin available here in the U.S.

Irish Times - 'Irish gin producers to go global as exports set to soar' by Charlie Taylor
Irish craft gin is set to go global this year as local brands seek to go head-to-head with the likes of Bombay Sapphire, Hendrick’s and Tanqueray.
A new forecast from the Alcohol Beverage Federation of Ireland (ABFI) suggests that, while last year marked a breakthrough for Irish gin makers, 2018 will see brands such as Bertha’s Revenge, Shortcross, Blackwater No 5, Dingle and Gunpowder really taking on the competition by growing sales significantly in the US, Canadian, British and German markets.

Sipping Bertha
Warm up this winter with a ‘Sipping Bertha’. A shot of Bertha’s Revenge Gin and a splash of water to release the aromas and flavours. It’s like rain falling on a hot dry garden. The texture of the whey alcohol is lovely, luscious, rich and incredibly smooth.
