Welcome to Rebel City Distillery, where we’re proud to be leading the way in sustainable distilling practices. As a pioneer in the industry, we’re dedicated to reducing waste, minimizing our carbon footprint, and making a positive impact on the environment. We’re thrilled to announce that we have achieved Origin Green certification as of March 2023.

Situated in the vibrant Cork Docklands, our boutique distillery calls the former Ford factory building home—an iconic industrial landmark in Cork city. We’ve gone to great lengths to preserve the rich heritage of this historic structure, meticulously restoring its original features to their full glory.

Our unwavering commitment to sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Here’s how we’re making a difference:

1. Energy-efficient distillation methods: By utilizing distillation techniques that consume less energy, we actively reduce emissions and our carbon footprint, leading the way for distilleries across Ireland.

2. Recycling champions: We take recycling seriously. All paper, plastic, and glass waste generated at our distillery undergoes recycling processes, ensuring responsible waste management practices.

3. Packaging with a purpose: We’re passionate about utilizing packaging materials sourced from recycled waste whenever possible. By doing so, we contribute to a circular economy and minimize our impact on the environment.

4. Sustainably sourced ingredients: Our distillation process begins with carefully selecting ingredients that are sustainably produced and certified. We maintain the highest standards of quality while prioritizing environmental consciousness.

6. Embracing the circular economy: After distillation, the spent botanical waste finds new life as compost. We’ve partnered with our neighbors at CUSP (Cork Urban Soil Project) to transform this waste into valuable compost, promoting a circular approach to waste management.

7. Giving back to our community: We firmly believe in the importance of giving back. That’s why we actively collaborate with local charity organizations in the city, raising funds for causes we deeply care about.
