This is the second Antrim-based Basalt Distillery creation to join World Duty Free’s range of Northern Irish products, following the introduction of Basalt Volcanic Rock Gin in February.
Martha Garbe, director at Basalt Distillery, said: “Since our Basalt Volcanic Rock Gin landed on the shelves at Belfast City Airport, we have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from customers, and we hope that our new Volcanic Rock Vodka will prove equally popular.
“The launch of our Volcanic Rock Vodka marks an exciting milestone for Basalt Distillery, and we are pleased to offer passengers at Belfast City Airport an exclusive first taste.”
Established in 2020, Basalt Distillery uses state-of-the-art technology to distil sustainably. Michael Jackson, head of commercial at Belfast City Airport, said: “We have seen increasing demand from passengers for premium local brands, and it is fantastic to launch Basalt Distillery’s Volcanic Rock Vodka as an exclusive addition to our growing range of local products.
“Its arrival at our World Duty Free store exemplifies Belfast City Airport’s dedication to offering travellers an authentic taste of Northern Ireland and to celebrating the spirit of innovation and craftsmanship that defines our region.”
Located five minutes from Belfast city centre and boasting an average security processing time of only six minutes, Belfast City Airport was recently named the UK’s Most Punctual Airport.
