Lawyer Bálint Dámosy has started up the first gin distillery in Hungary under the brand name Opera, having spotted a gap in the market.
His is a classic start-up, in which family and friends pooled resources to help him to realise the dream.
After a lot of licensing and preparation Opera entered the market in February.
Preparation was not easy, as Dámosy experimented for months with recipes – using 2,000 litres of alcohol – to arrive at his own unique gin.
Now, just half a year after the launch, he is already producing a profit.
Opera Gin has achieved this success without any credit and or other external help.
However, an international expansion would require increased capital.
“The idea has always been to stand before a potential investor with an already proven and marketable product,” he declared.
