Boatyard Distillery wins landmark case against ‘archaic’ licensing laws

Boatyard Distillery in Co Fermanagh has won a landmark case against what it says are ‘archaic’ licensing laws preventing it from selling its products at the site.

The highly successful local distillery, which sits on the banks of Lower Lough Erne, had been unable to sell its gin and other drinks to visitors at the premises before the ruling.

Following a ruling at Dungannon Magistrates Court, the company says it is now the first distillery in Northern Ireland to gain access to a new type of licence that allows them to sell their own made products in the distillery.
