Kinsale Spirit Company has commenced exporting its Kinsale Gin and Red Earl Irish Whiskey products to China.
The Irish Examiner quotes Conor Mowlds, chief commercial officer at Port of Cork, from where the Kinsale Spirit Company products are being exported, as saying, "We were honoured to see their first container of gin and whiskey exported from Cork to China. No matter how big or small a company, using the right port with most efficient connections is so important when it comes to getting your product from local to global."
