Wine and spirits company, Banfi Vintners, will now lead The Boatyard Distillery in a multi-state expansion beginning with 13 primary states, growing case volume and brand awareness, before moving to full nationwide distribution.
Along with the expansion comes news that Boatyard’s commercial director Declan McGurk will move into the role of managing director at The Boatyard Distillery.
“We knew that if we launched in America correctly, the right opportunities would present themselves. Banfi has a limited spirit portfolio and having Boatyard selected as one of the lucky few to be a part of it is testament to the early groundwork we have done. Our dream is to become the number one premium Irish gin brand in the world, and we’ll get there,” said McGurk.
