Dublin, Ireland - Leopardstown Racecourse is thrilled to announce Xin Gin as its new Premium Gin Partner, bringing a touch of elegance and sophistication to the prestigious racecourse.

Xin Gin, from Ahascragh Distillery, is known for its exquisite blend of botanicals and premium quality, embodies the spirit of luxury and refinement that perfectly complements the world-class atmosphere of Leopardstown Racecourse. Irish owned and produced, Ahascragh Distillery founders Michelle and Gareth McAllister merged their love of Asia and Ireland to create a dry gin which pleases all the senses. From a uniquely created bottle to the juniper led taste, Xin Gin provides a perfect balance of Celtic and Asian feel. 

Masterfully crafted in the heart of Galway, Xin Gin is an exceptional spirit from Ireland’s first eco-distillery, which is powered exclusively by renewable energy. Nestled in the village of Ahascragh in County Galway, the newly renovated mill which houses Ahascragh Distillery produces zero energy emissions as fossil fuels or gas are not used to drive the production process. This is a first for the industry. Through the innovative use of wind and solar energy combined with high temperature heat pumps, Ahascragh Distillery founders Gareth and Michelle McAllister have changed the way whiskey and gin are made in Ireland. 

"We are delighted to welcome Xin Gin as our new Premium Gin Partner," said Tim Husbands, CEO of Leopardstown Racecourse. "Their commitment to excellence and passion for creating exceptional gin align perfectly with our dedication to providing an unparalleled experience for our guests. We are confident that Xin Gin will add to the premium feel of all our events and enhance the overall race day experience." 

As the official Premium Gin Partner, Xin Gin will be featured prominently across Leopardstown racing calendar and will be available across all public and hospitality areas throughout the racecourse. This new partnership offers racegoers a taste of Xin Gin’s exceptional craftsmanship and unique flavour profile. 

Michelle McAllister, co-founder of Ahascragh Distillery said "I'm absolutely thrilled to announce that Xin Gin is now the Premium Gin Partner for Leopardstown Racecourse. Xin Gin was designed to be at the heart of gatherings, and this partnership is a perfect alignment of our shared values. With Xin Gin, we have merged what we love about our two homes, Ireland and Asia, and bringing Xin Gin to Leopardstown is a wonderful extension of that vision. We can't wait to share our unique gin and exceptional experiences with the racegoers at Leopardstown." 

The partnership between Leopardstown Racecourse and Xin Gin will begin on the 8th of August during the Bulmers Live at Leopardstown event which will see Bonnie Tyler perform after racing. Xin Gin will sponsor the Group 3 ‘Xin Gin Ballyroan Stakes’ which promises to be an exciting race.
