Hinch Distillery is the brainchild of entrepreneur Dr. Terry Cross OBE, founded around 2019–2020 in Northern Ireland, situated between Belfast and Ballynahinch. Built with an investment of £25 million, the 30,000 sq ft distillery represents a bold ambition to play a leading role in the modern Irish whiskey renaissance. From its earliest days, Hinch has grown rapidly into a global presence, exporting to 25 markets around the world. Hinch produces a selection of premium Irish whiskeys that showcase a range of styles, including the Small Batch Blend, the 5 Year Old Double Wood, and the 10 Year Old Sherry Cask expression, as well as a Peated Single Malt that highlights the distillery's willingness to explore diverse production methods. Alongside its whiskey range, Hinch also produces its own Ninth Wave Irish Gin, making it a multi-faceted spirits producer with a broad portfolio. Hinch has quickly established a strong reputation on the international stage. The distillery's Warehouse Exclusive expression earned a Gold Medal at the Irish Whiskey Awards, as reported by Forbes in 2025, cementing Hinch's place among the finest producers in Ireland. Its combination of modern facilities, entrepreneurial vision, and award-winning quality makes Hinch one of Northern Ireland's most exciting whiskey destinations.
