Established in 2020, Rebel City Distillery is a craft distillery breathing new life into Cork’s historic docklands. Situated in the old Ford Car Factory, a Cork Landmark that has lain dormant for decades, the distillery draws on the innovations of the past to inspire the creations of the future.

A fusion of two creative cultures. Maharani Gin, our first release, celebrates our founder’s roots, Cork and Kerala, where husband and wife team, Robert and Bhagya, come from. Maharani means queen and is a tribute to strong women everywhere. Rebel City Distillery have also launched Ireland’s only Absinthe in June 2022.

Beginning in the visitor centre, discover the distinct taste profiles achieved via a fascinating fusion between Cork, Ireland and Kerala, India through husband-and-wife owners, Bhagya and Robert.
