A bright twist of orange and a faint savoury note are bringing new life to a familiar Irish bottle. In this latest slice of food Ireland, Dingle Gin has revealed both a full design refresh and a new flavour, Dingle Gin Orange and Sea Salt, giving fans something new to spot on the shelf this month.
The Kerry distillery has been a steady favourite for more than a decade, known for a spirit shaped by the landscape around Dingle. Its gin is still made with botanicals including rowan berry, angelica root, hawthorn and heather, which give it that clean, aromatic character many Irish drinkers already know well.
Dingle Gin brings a fresh look to food Ireland shelves
The biggest visible change is the bottle itself. The family-run distillery says the old design, first introduced in 2014, had become part of the brand’s identity, but it was time for something that better matched where the company is now.
According to managing director Elliot Hughes, the aim was to let the packaging catch up with the spirit inside it. Importantly for loyal fans, the recipe has not changed.
- New bottle design for Dingle Gin
- Updated look for Dingle Vodka too
- New release: Dingle Gin Orange and Sea Salt
- Same liquid: the original gin remains unchanged
What the new flavour means for the Ireland food scene
The orange and sea salt combination is unusual, but it makes sense for a brand so closely tied to the coast. It suggests a gin that could lean fresh and citrusy with a slightly briny edge, suited to summer serves and easy entertaining.
For readers who follow food news Ireland and keep an eye on artisan drinks, this launch feels like a smart update rather than a total reinvention. It keeps one foot in tradition and one in what shoppers are curious about now.
For anyone building an Irish food guide of standout local producers, Dingle Gin still earns its place. This update to food Ireland proves a well-loved brand can change its look, try something new, and still hold onto the taste that made people return in the first place.
