The small, vibrant coastal town of Donaghadee is home to a distinctive lighthouse, harbour boats, great wee bars, restaurants serving locally caught produce—and of course, Copeland Distillery.
The humble beginnings of the distillery are shared by founder Gareth Irvine, expressing deep gratitude to the 370 founding cask members who helped bring the vision to life.
Gin, rum, vodka, coffee liqueur, and finally whiskey—since 2019, this small distillery has crafted it all. Their products have won taste awards and now travel the world, showcasing this idyllic coastal location.
For BWW this year, Copeland are planning a few surprises. Details are under wraps, but rest assured—you won’t be disappointed.
Take a close look inside the distillery and warehouse, taste exceptional whiskies, and feast on locally sourced food—all while soaking up the rich maritime atmosphere.
Picture coastal surrounds, Irish hospitality, and the exclusive new whiskies coming out of Donaghadee.
