Jackford Irish Potato Gin

The Stafford family of Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford have been growing the humble staple potato for many years and have recently improved the sustainability of their crop by using quality potatoes that would not normally be used in food services or available to the retail trade to produce a top-quality Gin of single origin.

The Gin has already won some amazing awards with a new strawberry flavour coming in 2022.

The process for creating Jackford Irish Potato Gin is based on traditional distilling methods where a mash is produced and there is a PNS created. PNS – Potato Neutral Spirit and then the magic happens with adding the high-level quality botanicals.

Brogan’s Butchers

Brogan’s Butchers was established in 1908 by Michael Brogan and passed down from generation to generation and is now run by the great-grandson who is also called Michael.

Brogan’s Butcher is special because it runs an EC-approved abattoir supplied by its own farm offering a true farm-to-fork experience.

Brogan’s Butchers has won numerous awards over recent years.

This contemporary shop has had a recent makeover, giving the customer a very positive experience and providing space to expand the offering.
