Mermaid Gin Debuts in the US With 3 Sea-Inspired Expressions

Three Mermaid Gin expressions from U.K. spirits producer Isle of Wight Distillery are now available in the U.S.

Following its success in the U.K. and Europe, sea-inspired spirits brand Mermaid Gin has officially launched in the U.S., according to Food & Beverage Magazine.

Produced by Isle of Wight Distillery (the first and only distillery on the English island), Mermaid Gin is made using ethically and locally sourced ingredients — and “a hint of sea air,” the brand noted.

Expressions now available in the U.S. include Mermaid Gin, Mermaid Pink Gin and Mermaid Zest Gin. Each scale-patterned bottle of gin features a sustainably sourced natural cork stopper, compostable seal and biodegradable paper.

We are delighted to announce the launch of Mermaid to US customers,” shared Xavier Baker, Co-Founder of Mermaid Gin. “The brand has seen huge success in the UK and Europe and we hope to see it gain further momentum globally with the launch in the US. With gin sales volumes rising in the US, we feel this is a good time to be launching Mermaid to US customers and look forward to working with our distributors to grow the brand throughout the US in 2023.”

Mermaid Gin is also set to be available to enjoy through Miami-based cruise operators Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Oceania Cruises.
