Blackwater Distillery

Idea

Introduction

We're not a marketing company, so if you want romance copy can I suggest you go elsewhere, perhaps a library?

We're a distillery. We make our own gin and our own whiskey. I know, revolutionary.

We value the traditional skills that shape the products we make.

We are the driven by the “what if? Possibility trumps certainty every time for us. It drives not just what we chose to do, but how we do it and ultimately the spirits we
make.

This has resulted in us winning numerous globally recognised spirit awards. Most recently double gold in San Francisco.

Monetisation strategy

Blackwater Distillery gets its products to market in Ireland via some of the country's largest distributors. White spirits are represented by Barry Fitzwilliam and Classic Drinks. Irish Whiskey by Dalcassian. These distributors get our products into independent off-licenses, and into the on-trade across the island. Also, our products are sold in the three leading supermarkets, Tesco Ireland, Dunnes Stores, and SuperValu.

We directly supply ALDI Ireland with Boyle's Gin, also seasonally with RTDs, Puca Irish whiskey. Products are also currently supplied seasonally to ALDI Australia.

Our whiskey and gin are also available in airports in the Republic of Ireland.

Blackwater products are now available in Germany, Denmark, Australia, USA, Poland, Canada, Sweden

shortly also in the UK, France, and the Netherlands.

Use of proceeds

100% of the proceeds will be used to produce more Irish whiskey and sell it.

Grain and casks cost a lot, and remember we can't sell a drop of whiskey until it's at least three years old. That's a lot of cash that's tied up, doing nothing. So with your help, we can lay down more stock and have more whiskey to sell. We can also spend more time focusing on our key markets, and selling whiskey.
