Irish actor and producer James Nesbitt has recently formed a strategic partnership with United Kingdom-based whiskey and gin producer Hinch Distillery.
The collaboration marks a noteworthy alignment between the entertainment industry and craft spirits, News Letter reported on Tuesday. With a career spanning over 75 television and film titles, including prominent works such as “Bloodlands” and “Cold Feet,” Nesbitt is set to play a pivotal role in endorsing and supporting Hinch Distillery’s whiskeys and Ninth Wave Irish gins.
Hinch Distillery currently produces two gin expressions: Ninth Wave Irish Gin (43% ABV) and Ninth Wave Export Strength Irish Gin (46% ABV). The brand is inspired by Irish mythology and derives its tasting notes from juniper, lemon verbena, cardamom, orange peel, coriander seeds, angelica root, orris root, cassia bark and grains of paradise.
Nesbitt, a proud representative of Northern Ireland, stated his enthusiasm for the collaboration, citing it as an opportunity to celebrate the region’s best and its iconic brands.
“I’m thrilled to be joining forces with Hinch Distillery,” Nesbitt shared in the report. “As a proud Northern Irishman, I have always admired the dedication and craftsmanship that goes into creating Hinch Irish whiskeys and Ninth Wave Irish gins. This partnership is an opportunity to celebrate the best of our region and its iconic brands.”
The founder of Hinch Distillery, Dr. Terry Cross OBE, expressed delight in welcoming Nesbitt to the distillery’s fold.
“We are delighted to welcome James Nesbitt to the Hinch Distillery family,” Cross said, according to News Letter. “His passion for our craft and commitment to Northern Ireland’s talent perfectly aligns with our values. This partnership is not just about endorsements; it’s about shared passion and vision and an appreciation of all the good things to come out of Northern Ireland.”
Nesbitt’s active involvement in the distillery’s initiatives will include direct engagement with its team and participation in promotional activities.
