The Muff Liquor Company is an award-winning premium spirits company that hails from the eponymous village of Muff, County Donegal on the Inishowen peninsula, Ireland.
The company was founded in 2017 by Donegal-native Ms Bonner, who was inspired by her grandfather Philip McClenaghan’s passion to create wonderful spirits.
Laura and her team are continuing her family’s tradition of crafting spirits from the potatoes he farmed in Donegal: a premium, potato-based vodka and gin and a five-part blend whiskey.
All three products have received industry accolades, and the brand attracted the attention of celebrity investors Russell Crowe, Ed Sheeran, Jimmy Carr and Ronan Keating.
Earlier this month, Ms Bonner hosted a major launch event at the new premises in Muff with Russell Crowe, Ronan Keating and Ryan Tubridy among the stars in attendance.
