Founded in 2003 by three lifelong friends—Denis McCarthy, Ger McCarthy, and John O'Connell—in Union Hall, West Cork, the brand represents a collaborative spirit of passion and resilience. Today, they operate as one of the very few independent, completely Irish-owned distilleries in the country.
West Cork Distillers is uniquely situated in Skibbereen, the heart of West Cork, utilizing local spring water and Irish barley. The distillery is famous for its handcrafted approach, employing artisanal copper pot stills to capture a robust yet accessible flavor profile.
