We’re over the moon to announce that Rebel City Distillery, the home of Maharani Spirits, has been awarded the Digital Marketing Award for “Best Use of Instagram” (less than 20 employees). This is a recognition that celebrates creativity, community, and authentic storytelling in the digital space.
This recognition means so much to us as a small, independent distillery in the heart of Cork. For us, Instagram has always been more than a social media platform. It’s been a window into our world. From the hustle of our Cork distillery to the vibrant colours and spices of Kerala. Every post tells a part of our Irish-Indian story.
This award celebrates our small but mighty team’s passion for blending tradition and innovation. Both in our spirits and our storytelling. Whether it’s sharing behind-the-scenes looks at our Spirit School, cocktail creations, or the people behind the brand, we’ve always aimed to make our Instagram a community, not just a feed.
We’ve also used the platform to shine a light on our Cork community and our roots in Kerala, where our spices are ethically sourced from a female-run cooperative. It’s a story we’re proud to tell, one that celebrates craft, culture, and connection.
We’ve always believed that good marketing isn’t about selling; it’s about sharing. Every photo, reel, and story is a reflection of who we are: an Irish-Indian family distillery that blends tradition with innovation and brings people together through the spirits we create.
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our amazing followers, collaborators, and customers who continue to engage, share, and support what we do. Your likes, comments, and cheers (with Maharani Gin in hand!) make all the difference.
Here’s to creativity, community, and continuing to raise a glass, both online and off.
