\u201cIt\u2019s a brilliant platform for celebrating the quality, creativity and provenance of Northern Ireland\u2019s growing spirits sector, while giving travellers the chance to discover the stories behind the brands being made here,\u201d<\/em> said Garry White, founder of Jawbox Gin.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Jawbox, quality, craftsmanship and tradition are at the heart of everything we do. Triple-distilled in small batches at our distillery just outside Belfast, our award-winning gin is rooted in Belfast\u2019s rich industrial heritage and made with genuine character. Jawbox is a gin made to be shared, enjoyed and celebrated in good company.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBeing part of That\u2019s the Spirit again allows us to build on the connections made through last year\u2019s campaign, introduce even more travellers to Jawbox and give them the opportunity to take a taste of Northern Ireland with them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

That\u2019s the Spirit will give passengers the chance to sample premium products and meet the makers leading the region\u2019s distilling renaissance.<\/p>\n

Sampling will take place throughout the week at World Duty Free and the Aspire Lounge. Exclusive promotions will be available at The Artisan and Samson\u2019s Kitchen and Bar.<\/p>\n

Brand representatives will also be present to share tasting notes and insights about each bottle\u2019s production.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an airport rooted in the heart of Northern Ireland, we are committed to celebrating the exceptional producers who are elevating Northern Ireland\u2019s reputation on the global distilling stage,\u201d<\/em> said Caroline Rowan, head of commercial at Belfast City Airport.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the Spirit is about giving passengers a genuine taste of home through the craftsmanship and character that define our local distillers. We are excited to welcome a range of distillery brands this year, each bringing their own story and spirit to the terminal.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

All the spirits presented during the week, including gin, whiskey, vodka, rum, and liqueurs, will be available to buy from World Duty Free.<\/p>\n

Rowan continued: \u201cHere at Belfast City Airport, we\u2019re proud to champion the outstanding local products we stock, and this initiative allows us to celebrate the distillers who pour passion into every batch. We look forward to welcoming those travelling through the airport to join us in October as we raise a glass to Northern Ireland\u2019s world-class spirits.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
