Kildare MEP and former jockey launches racehorse-themed gin
The Chinese Lunar New Year of the Horse begins next week
Midlands North West MEP and former jockey Nina Carberry, who is married to Kildare man Ted Walsh Jnr, helped launch a new collector’s edition of Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin, celebrating Ireland’s legendary racehorses.
From Arkle to Red Rum, the special hand-made bottle features iconic Irish racehorses and marks the forthcoming Chinese Lunar New Year of the Horse, which begins next week.
Nina joined founder of Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin Pat Rigney, ARI’s Damien Smith and Dr YuPeng Liu, Chairman of the Industry and Commerce Association of Ireland (ICAOI) for the launch of the limited-edition ceramic bottle, which features historic Irish racehorses who defined the sport for over eight decades.
The limited edition Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin Year of the Horse ceramic bottle will be exclusively on sale at Dublin Airport Duty Free for the next three months, with special celebrations around the collector’s edition bottle planned in-store to coincide with the Cheltenham festival next month.
The bottle will hit shelves in over 100 countries and airports across the world over the coming months.
