Two Irish family businesses have joined forces once again to create a new selection of premium-gin chocolate truffles for customers across the world.
The new Butlers Chocolates gift box of Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin chocolate truffles in three different flavours has just launched across Butlers Chocolate Cafés, Dublin, Cork and Belfast International airports.
The new chocolates will also be rolled out to international markets in the coming weeks.
This brings the full range of Butlers Chocolates flavoured with Drumshanbo Gunpowder Gin to seven items.
The collaboration between the two businesses came after Butlers Chocolates approached PJ Rigney of the Shed Distillery in Co Leitrim some years ago.
The Shed Distillery in Co Leitrim is home to Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin and is now available in over 80 countries, including Ireland, the UK, US, Australia, Hong Kong and South Africa.
Butlers Chocolates are available in 11 countries and over 20 major international airports. There are also 28 Butlers Chocolate Cafés in Ireland with franchises in South Asia and beyond.
All their chocolates are created at their facility in north Dublin, which is also home to their popular visitor attraction, the Butlers Factory Tour.
“At times of global uncertainty, innovation and exceptional standards are more important than ever. This partnership is testament to the joint vision both family businesses share around the esteem we have for ‘Brand Ireland’ and our commitment to supporting Irish jobs and the wider Irish economy,” Shed Distillery founder and owner Pat Rigney said.
“Consumers across the world know they will always be surprised and delighted by the originality of Butlers’ new products, confident that supreme quality and extraordinary taste are guaranteed,” he added.
Aisling Walsh, Marketing Director of Butlers Chocolates, said the company was thrilled to have once again collaborated with the team at the Shed Distillery.
“We are so excited to add this delicious new assortment to our range, just in time for the busy summer gifting season. It is such a great mix of flavours and a wonderful new offer for lovers of Butlers Chocolates and fans of Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish
