Samuel Gelston’s Old Irish Whiskey secures tesco listings across Northern Ireland

Established in Belfast in the 1830s, and purchased by Harry Neill in 1869, the Samuel Gelston’s brand has remained in the Neill family for five generations. The business is now being revived by Harry Neill’s, great, great grandson, Johnny Neill, who has followed in Harry’s footsteps to create a six-strong line-up of innovative, quality Irish whiskeys with exceptional cask finishes and rate aged single malts.

The brand’s Single Malt, which is rolling out across Tesco stores now, is a non-age statement, matured in ex-bourbon casks. It’s a versatile, premium whiskey with savoury spice notes – and is perfect for serving neat, or for adding a unique character to a whisky cocktail or Irish Coffee.

Johnny Neill, owner of Samuel Gelston’s Irish Whiskey, said; “My ancestor Harry Neill, who bought Gelston’s Old Irish Whiskey in 1869 was passionate about sourcing, bonding and blending some of the finest Single Malt and Pot Still Whiskeys from across Ireland. I’m proud to draw upon these whiskey distilling roots and continue his legacy by bringing a range of quality new products to the market.

“Securing listings for our Single Malt Irish Whiskey in Tesco stores, both in Harry’s hometown of Belfast and across Northern Ireland is the start of an incredibly exciting next chapter for the Samuel Gelston’s brand, and what better time than as we approach St. Patrick’s Day celebrations”.

Samuel Gelston’s Single Malt Whiskey is available now from 16 Tesco stores across Northern Ireland. RRP £25. The wider range is available to buy directly from the Gelston’s website, Amazon, Master of Malt and whisky specialists.
