Giant arrival at Belfast airport as Basalt Distillery lands at World Duty Free

Giant’s Basalt Gin, a FoodNI member from Bushmills, has landed at Belfast City Airport’s World Duty Free.

The gin, which is inspired by the dramatic coastline of Northern Ireland, will be available for purchase to all passengers, represents World Duty Free’s commitment to championing local producers

Martha Garbe, director at Giant’s Basalt, said: “We are excited to work with Belfast City Airport and World Duty Free to deliver our products to a global audience and are greatly encouraged by the positive feedback we have received since the products landed on the shelves.”

Martha, a scientist, runs the Giants with business partner James Henderson.

 “By showcasing Giants Basalt Rock Gin at Belfast City Airport, Basalt Distillery will capture the attention of a diverse audience, including tourists who are eager to experience the essence of Northern Ireland.

“The bottle itself is a work of art, designed to resemble the hexagonal stones of the Giant’s Causeway, and it is this attention to detail and innovation that helps set us apart.

“The airport’s prime location and high footfall make it an attractive destination for showcasing this unique gin, and by strategically positioning Giants Basalt Rock Gin at Belfast City Airport, we can effectively capture the interest of both gin enthusiasts and curious travellers,” she added.
