Wexbury Spirits is the bi-product of entrepreneur Mark Kavanagh. As a boy Mark got involved with the renowned Wexford strawberries. He set up his own business selling strawberries on the side of the road just outside of Enniscorthy, close to his family farm.

A number of years ago Mark began to infuse the fresh Wexford strawberries with Vodka and sugar as an experiment. This ‘experiment’ was incredibly well received by friends and family. Thus the journey of making Wexbury Spirits began.

From starting as 13-year-old selling strawberries o the side of the road, Mark, otherwise known as the "Small Man" in his locality for his famous "Support the Small Man" and "100% Orgasmic Wexford Berries" signs. Began to use the leftover strawberries from his Strawberry stall to begin to infuse into vodka. This experiment went down exceptionally well with friends and family, which subsequently was the beginning of the journey of making Wexbury Spirits a reality. 

What Makes Us Unique?

By just adding some world-class strawberries to Vodka we knew we had a base of a good product to potentially work on commercialising. The issue with doing this is that the water content within the strawberries ultimately brings down the alcoholic strength of the spirit down from the 37.5% legally needed to declare the beverage "Vodka".

Instead of looking at the negative, we thought about potentially thinking outside the box and not conforming to industry standards of needing to make a drink at the same strength as everybody else in the market. Making Wexbury a drink designed to be able to be consumed straight up with a mixer of choice or in a delicious cocktail.
