Ballygowan Natural Mineral Water

Ballygowan is Ireland’s leading brand of bottled water, sourced from a specific well in Newcastle West, County Limerick. The water is drawn from an underground aquifer that has been naturally filtered through limestone for hundreds of years, providing a unique mineral profile that has made it a household name in Ireland and abroad.

The brand was founded in 1984, pioneering the bottled water market in Ireland at a time when the concept was still relatively new. Over the decades, it has evolved into a symbol of Irish natural resources, maintaining its production strictly at its source in County Limerick to ensure the integrity and purity of the natural mineral water.

Now owned by Britvic PLC, a major international soft drinks business, Ballygowan continues to lead the market through innovation and sustainability efforts, such as the introduction of recycled plastic bottles. While owned by a UK-headquartered multinational, the brand's identity remains deeply rooted in its Irish heritage and local manufacturing origins.
