Portrait: What makes the Grace O’Malley Heather Infused Gin special.

The Grace O’Malley Heather Infused Irish Gin combines 14 carefully selected botanicals, including heather, wild thyme, red clover, blueberry, and samphire from the rugged west coast of Ireland. Thanks to the gentle distillation at low temperatures, the natural aromas are preserved and give this gin its unique freshness and complexity.

The fine heather provides a mild floral, slightly sweet character and is a symbol of good luck in Celtic tradition. Appropriately, the gin bears the Irish expression "Beir Bua," which means "carry the victory" or "good luck" - a tribute to the fierce and charismatic Grace O'Malley.

A perfectly balanced gin for connoisseurs - whether neat, in a classic gin & tonic, or as a base for creative cocktails.

Who was Grace O'Malley?

Grace O'Malley, also known as the "Pirate Queen" of Ireland, was what we would call a real "boss lady" today - only in the 16th century and with a ship instead of an office. Her nickname "Gráinne Mhaol" (the "Shorn One") didn't come from the fact that she eschewed hairstyles - no, she simply shaved her head to show her father that she was just as capable as he was!
She not only made a name for herself as a fearless sailor, but also as a nightmare for the English kingdom. She led her own fleet and was known for mastering everything from raiding merchant ships to naval battles.
And all this without the typical pirate clichés - no eye patch, no parrots, but a lot of charm and a fair amount of cheek.
She became a symbol of resistance against English colonial rule.

Grace showed the world that a woman could not only keep up in a male-dominated world, but also sail at the forefront. Grace O'Malley was even received by Queen Elizabeth I - a meeting in which she confidently confronted the monarch. If anyone back then could call it "business" If anyone took pirates seriously, it was Grace!

Today she would probably be considered "The First Lady of the High Seas" - with a healthy dose of Irish pride!
To this day, Grace O'Malley is more than just a pirate legend for Ireland - she stands for courage, independence, and the unwavering determination to stand up against all forms of oppression.
You could say she was Ireland's first "girl power" icon. And who knows, maybe she'd still have the best tips for your next business strategies on the high seas!
