Kinsale Mead Co.: Crafting Excellence and Sustainability, One Sip at a Time!

Embark on a journey into the captivating world of Kinsale Mead Co., where the art of mead-making is redefined with a blend of tradition and modern innovation, all under the careful stewardship of founders Kate and Denis Dempsey. Their vision to rediscover the ancient craft of mead-making has led to a delightful range of Irish meads that stand out for their flavour and quality.

Nestled in the heart of Kinsale, the small, family-run business is dedicated to the meticulous crafting of each mead by hand. With the combination of modern winemaking techniques and the finest, carefully selected honey and fruits, Kinsale meads are a sensory delight, earning recognition as among the best in the world. In fact, Kinsale Mead Co. proudly holds the title of the first Irish meadery in 200 years.

In their commitment to sustainability, they recently partnered with JJ O'Toole, an Irish packaging design company to revamp their Mead Tasting Gift Set box. Working with artist Fiona Boniwell, the result is a beautiful eco-friendly box with the original foam inserts removed and with reduced packaging dimensions to generate a massive 38% reduction in weight. This decreases the environmental cost of shipping. All part of making sure they are as sustainable as they can be.  

The Mead Tasting Gift Set features miniatures of their popular Atlantic Dry Mead, Wild Red Mead, and Hazy Summer Mead, along with tasting notes and a touch of history, it's the perfect gift for the drink curious.

Experience the magic of Kinsale Mead Co., where every sip tells a story, and every bottle is a testament to the dedication of Kate and Denis.
