Sliabh Liag Distillers pursues €2m investment
Sliabh Liag Distillers are looking to raise €2 million through crowdfunding to boost their production capacity. As part of a new funding round, Sliabh Liag Distillers will launch a Crowdcube campaign on 20 June, which will see production being carried out 24/7, and its output increasing from 440,000 litres to 600,000 litres per year. Two years ago the distillery raised over €1.5m through crowdfunding. This investment went towards building the producer’s Ardara Distillery, which has since increased its global reach to 40 countries. The company reported that sales volumes for all the Sliabh Liag Distillers’ brands, Silkie Irish Whiskey, An Dúlamán Gin and Assaranca Vodka, were healthy during the pandemic period, increasing by 166% in 2021.

State-backed BGF invests €10m in Dublin Meat Company
