Xin Gin
Xin (pronounced SHIN) Gin was designed to be at the heart of gatherings. Xin’s founders Michelle and Gareth McAllister have Irish blood and Asian hearts. After spending many years in Asia, they wanted to merge what they loved about their two homes. The word itself means ‘heart’ or ‘feelings’ in Mandarin. The design of the bottle, with ancient Celtic swirls contrasted with a modern eastern aesthetic, reflects the liquid inside - a perfect balance of European and Oriental botanicals. The cross shaped label represents a promise to stay connected and a crossing point of the two cultures they love. This is a juniper-led dry gin with fresh citrus notes of orange zest and lemongrass combined with the exotic taste of the Asian fruit (Persimmon), held by an earthy, herbaceous undertone of dill and cinnamon spice. Xin Gin was awarded a Masters Medal at The Global Gin Masters 2023. Other recent wins for Xin Gin include a double gold medal at The 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and “Best in Ireland” at The Gin Guide Awards for the third year in a row.
