Samuel Gelston’s
Ireland · Founded in 1830
Samuel Gelston's is a historic Irish whiskey brand with roots stretching back to Belfast in the 1830s. The brand was purchased by Harry Neill in 1869 and has remained in the Neill family for five generations, making it one of Ireland's most enduring whiskey legacies. Today, the brand operates under HJ Neill, a joint venture backed by Halewood Wine & Spirits, continuing its long tradition of sourcing, bonding and blending fine Irish whiskey. The Samuel Gelston's portfolio showcases the breadth of Irish whiskey styles. Their Blended Irish Whiskey is crafted from a combination of malted barley and grain, triple distilled for smoothness — a hallmark of the Irish style. Beyond the blend, the range extends to a Single Malt and a Single Pot Still expression, highlighting the brand's commitment to exploring the full spectrum of Irish whiskey craftsmanship. In 2022, the brand also debuted an Irish Cream Liqueur, further expanding its offering. With centuries of heritage rooted in Belfast and five generations of family stewardship, Samuel Gelston's represents a proud chapter in Irish whiskey history. The brand's revival under HJ Neill has brought renewed attention to its legacy, positioning it as a compelling choice for those who appreciate authentic, traditionally crafted Irish whiskey.
