Founded in 1830 by Samuel Gelston at Belfast Harbour, then the capital of Ireland, Samuel Gelston's began as a premium wine and spirits merchant before establishing itself as a distinguished Irish whiskey brand. Following Gelston's death in 1869, the visionary Harry J. Neill acquired the distillery and entire operation. Under five generations of the Neill family's passionate stewardship, the brand has flourished across Ireland, Scotland, and global export markets. Today, the distillery remains proudly family-owned and managed by Harry Neill's descendants, committed to preserving traditional Irish whiskey-making heritage while meeting contemporary international demand. ©酒仙说酒
