A Visit to Remember: U.S. Consul General James Applegate explores Titanic Distillers

Last week was a special one for us at Titanic Distillers as we had the pleasure of hosting James Applegate, the U.S. Consul General for Belfast and Glyn Roberts from Retail NI . Stepping away from his busy agenda, Mr. Applegate delved into the core of Belfast's first whiskey distillery in nearly 90 years.

During his visit, James enjoyed our signature tour, getting a taste of the stories of Belfast's shipyard workers, the history of Irish whiskey in Belfast, and the exciting journey that lies ahead for us.

Adding a personal touch to the visit, James had the chance to chat with our Head Distiller, Damien Rafferty and discuss the history of the site with two of our Directors, Peter Lavery and Stephen Symington, as well as it's future for Belfast.

Under the guidance of our Tour Guide, Jonny, our guests were taken on a journey through the meticulous process of maturing spirits at Thompson Dock, creating a unique connection between tradition and innovation.

This was of course rounded off with a tasting session of our spirits collection, showcasing the different aromas and sciences happening in our spirits making process at Titanic Distillers.

A big thank you to James for stopping by. Here's to making connections, sharing stories, and enjoying the good stuff together!

At Titanic Distillers, we love sharing not just our top-notch spirits but also the stories that make each bottle unique, showcasing our commitment to craftsmanship, tradition, and the vibrant spirit of Belfast.

For those curious about our offerings, take a peek at our premium Irish spirits. From carefully crafted whiskies to a distinct Irish Vodka, each bottle captures the essence of our city.
