The story behind it

The maker

West Cork Distillers was founded in 2003 by three lifelong friends—Denis McCarthy, Ger McCarthy, and John O'Connell—in Union Hall, Ireland. What began as a passionate experiment in a backyard shed has grown into one of Ireland's largest independent, family-owned distilleries.

How it is made

West Cork Distillers operates in Skibbereen, the heart of West Cork, utilizing unique handcrafted copper pot stills. They source local Irish ingredients including spring water and home-grown barley to maintain absolute regional authenticity.

From County Cork, Ireland
