Since it’s foundation in 2016, Copeland Distillery has gone from strength to strength, including moving to a permanent home in Donaghadee, which now includes a coffee shop overlooking the distillery, offering their popular distillery tours and branching out from with their signature Copeland Gin in to Whisky and Rum.

Copeland Gin is a popular choice in the club bar, but don’t take our word for it, it also won a prestigious gold medal at last year’s International Wine and Spirit Competition.

Club President and Sponsorship Co-ordinator, Jonny Watson was delighted to announce this sponsorship hot on the heels of the recent exciting news about BLK Ireland becoming the Club’s new kit supplier and sponsor, and the commitment of major sponsor Bangor Fuels for another 3 years.

“Copeland Distillery are a local gem, who are deservedly achieving worldwide recognition from here on the Ards Peninsula. Their support of the Club and long-term commitment will be vital to our ambitions as a club, and we are proud that we will showcase their brand throughout Ireland with their brand on our new BLK Ireland Shirts.”

“Whilst we can’t offer you the chance to join us for a Copeland Gin and Tonic at the Club until restrictions ease, I know several Club members have been enjoying a drink at home, whether that’s Copeland Gin, or their new range of Rums - if you fancy a bottle visit www.copelanddistillery.com where you can read more about Copeland Distillery and buy a bottle!”

“I’d like to personally thank Gaz Irvine, for his long time support of the club and look forward to watching Copeland Distillery continue to grow on the world stage under his leadership.”

Sponsorship packages are still available, if you are interested in finding out more and supporting the Club as it looks to an exciting future, please get in touch with Jonny Watson on 07791149714 or send an email to sponsorship@bangorrfc.com
