Dara Gin – Small Batch Artisan Gin
Crafted with passion in our traditional 100L copper pot still, Dara Gin is a bold and beautifully balanced gin, distilled with a carefully selected blend of eight premium botanicals.
From the first sip, you’ll experience the crisp, piney freshness of juniper, perfectly complemented by the warm spice of coriander and the bright zest of lemon and orange peel. A delicate floral touch from elderflower and chamomile adds a smooth elegance, while angelica and orris root provide an earthy depth that lingers on the finish.
This handcrafted gin is exceptionally smooth, aromatic, and versatile – perfect for a refreshing gin & tonic, a classic martini, or simply enjoyed over ice.
Discover the taste of true craftsmanship with Dara Gin – a gin for those who appreciate quality, tradition, and bold flavour.

Steeped in Celtic Tradition and Culture
Dara Distillery takes its name from the Gaelic word ‘dair’, meaning ‘oak tree’. In Celtic culture, the roots of trees connect to ancestors and all living things. The brand design of Dara Gin therefore utilises the perfect visual metaphor representing the connection between all things natural as well as the people’s connection to each other and their ancestors.
From Botanicals to Bottle
After our precise distillation process and mix of natural ingredients, we suggest serving as follows: one part Dara Gin to three parts premium tonic. Garnish with a slice of lime and cucumber with fresh mint over ice for a deep-rooted, delightfully balanced taste that is bottled in small batches for your unique enjoyment.
A Taste for Gods and Goddesses
The Dara Knot is often said to represent the endless cycle of life, death, and rebirth, as well as the interconnectedness of all things in the natural world. In Celtic culture specifically, Celtic knots have a deep significance and are often associated with the ancient Celtic Gods and Goddesses.
