The story behind it

The maker

West Cork Distillers was founded in 2003 by childhood friends John O'Connell, Denis McCarthy, and Ger McCarthy in Union Hall, West Cork. Built on a vision to create an independent, artisan distillery, they have grown to become one of Ireland's most innovative spirits producers.

How it is made

Distilled in Skibbereen by West Cork Distillers, this series utilizes local Glengarriff oak charred using regional bog oak. The unique fuel source provides a distinctive, authentic Irish smoke profile that sets it apart from traditional Scottish peat.
