United Wines to distribute Titanic Whiskey Brand
United Wines has secured an exclusive all-Ireland distribution deal with Titanic Distillers, Belfast’s newest premium Irish Whiskey brand. United Wines was founded in 1985 and employs 50 people on the island of Ireland where it distributes an extensive portfolio of products, including Wine, Beer, Spirits and Soft Drinks. This brand new Irish Whiskey brand was founded by three Belfast businessmen, Peter Lavery, Richard Irwin and Stephen Symington. They are based at the Titanic Pump-House, a listed building first opened in 1911 on the very site where the Titanic was built in Belfast.
Titanic Distillers Commercial Director Stephen Symington said: “We’re delighted to team up with United Wines as we launch Titanic Distillers Premium Irish Whiskey into the Irish market. We’re very aware that, in Titanic Distillers, we have a big responsibility as custodians of a huge historic global brand that is synonymous with Belfast – so we have laboured long and hard to develop and create a premium Irish Whiskey brand of which Belfast and Northern Ireland can be very proud.
He continued “In the days before Prohibition, Belfast was once the largest producer of Irish Whiskey on the island of Ireland,” he continued. “We want to revive this great distilling tradition and bring Belfast back to the forefront of Irish Whiskey production. What better way to do that than with an authentic brand that we feel embodies the very spirit of Belfast and of the workers who built the Titanic. We are now collaborating with stakeholders and funders, including Invest NI, on some really exciting plans for the Titanic Pump-House and Dry Dock which will only serve to reinforce this spirit. We look forward to sharing these plans in due course,”
Titanic Distillers Premium Irish Whiskey is described as ‘full and rich with a smoky hint and a lingering finish’ and retails at €49.99 for a 700ml bottle.
