Jacquard Gin is the first spirit and signature gin from the Strawhill Estate distillery.
Named after the weaving process that was used to manufacture the very highest quality damask cloth in the village of Donaghcloney and across Ireland.
This is a Classical gin, smooth and delicate on the palate, with notes of citrus and spice shining through. Floral notes woven into the background combine; to give a fresh finish and a longing complexity.
Nestled in the rolling hills of Co Down, the distillery sits within the historic Strawhill Estate on the banks of the River Lagan.
Strawhill Estate looked to the past for inspiration for the spirits, honouring the craftsmanship that existed in the village of Donaghcloney in years gone by. In the heyday of the Linen industry, the village was home to the famous William Liddell & Co Ltd Linen Mill.
The mill was once the largest Irish Linen Jacquard Weaving Mill in Ireland, exporting its award-winning Gold Medal Linens to all four corners of the World and included customers such as The White Star Line and the ill-fated Titanic. The Estate boasted a direct family connection to the mill and the surrounding area during that time.
They aim to emulate the industrial prowess of the past; crafting spirits with passion, diligence and ingenuity.
They’ve honoured the craftsmen and women who toiled in the mill; by producing a gin using traditional distillation methods and lots of graft, on a bespoke handmade copper still. Long hours have been spent crafting the recipe, weaving the finest botanicals and spices from around the world together; with the finest quality spirit and the purest spring water drawn from the Estate’s own source, to produce a gin worthy of its name.
