Lough Mask Distillery to raise funds for Mayo's spirit tourism ambitions
LOUGH Mask Distillery, a beacon on the shores of the stunning Lough Mask, is aiming to become a major tourist destination in Mayo with the launch of a unique crowdfunding campaign on Crowdcube.
The distillery, established in 2016, has quickly gained recognition for its award-winning Loch Measc Gin, a unique spirit infused with the essence of the wild fuchsia and honeysuckle that blanket the region.
Their commitment to local ingredients and traditional methods has already garnered them a loyal following, with their gin gracing the shelves of prestigious establishments like Ashford Castle, independent spirit retailers, and of course all the major Irish airports.
But Lough Mask Distillery's ambitions extend far beyond the bottle. Their crowdfunding campaign signifies a significant step towards their goal of becoming a major tourist attraction in Mayo.
Funds raised will be used to expand production facilities and visitor experiences, with the distillery aiming to attract international visitors interested in experiencing the unique spirit of Mayo.
“We envision Lough Mask Distillery as a cornerstone of Mayo's tourism industry,” said a spokesperson for the distillery.
“Our visitors will not only have the opportunity to learn about the intricate process of crafting exceptional spirits, but also immerse themselves in the rich heritage and breathtaking scenery of Lough Mask.”
The distillery's focus on local ingredients and traditional methods resonates with the growing trend towards sustainable and authentic tourism experiences.
Visitors can expect guided tours showcasing the meticulous distillation process, tastings of their award-winning gins and vodkas, and potentially a glimpse of their maturing single malt whiskey, slated for release in 2025.
Unlike traditional investment avenues, Lough Mask Distillery's crowdfunding campaign utilises Crowdcube, a unique platform with the aim of democratising investment.
Crowdcube allows everyday people, not just venture capitalists or high-net-worth individuals, to invest in promising businesses. This approach fosters a strong connection between the distillery and the community, allowing local supporters to directly contribute to its success and potentially share in future profits.
Lough Mask Distillery's crowdfunding campaign offers a unique opportunity for the local community and spirit enthusiasts worldwide to become a part of this exciting journey.
With their commitment to quality, tradition, and showcasing the essence of Mayo, Lough Mask Distillery is poised to become a must-visit destination for anyone seeking an authentic Irish experience.
