Runway28 Irish Gin Coming Soon!

Take one Irish Aviation company, with two aviation professionals, then add a turbulent pandemic to the mixture, what do you get? Well in Kilbarron Aviation’s case, a brand-new Aviation themed premium Irish Gin, with a just a hint of pepper.

Co. Director MarieAnn Mc Loughlin Dwyer, with a background in both Aviation and Product Development, and wife to one of Irelands many grounded Commercial Airline Pilots, researched, studied and blended in collaboration with master distiller & recipe experts at Listoke Distillery in Co. Louth, to craft and create Runway28 Premium Irish Gin.

“Runway28Gin is a classic mix of earthy botanicals, with a hint of pepper, I wanted to celebrate and commemorate our small nation of pioneers, the spirited Irish. To highlight our unique nature and tradition, our ability to adapt, forge forward, and get creative, especially in the face of massive disruption”

“The Gin for me, is the perfect combination of all that I’ve learned over the years, much of which I owe to my time working within the Aviation Industry. Teamwork, Communication, Goal setting and Hard work, all remain constants for me from my early days of training as a member of cabin crew with Aer Lingus back in 1999 to my subsequent days working with Ryanair, traveling from base to base as a product demonstrator and trade show host.”

We may be a Small Nation, but we do get Big Ideas! Runway28Gin will be available online from mid-February 2021 for further information you can email hellorunway28@gmail.com
