Irish Whiskey

“Dair Ghaelach” means quite simply, Irish Oak.
While the name may be simple, the story of this whiskey is unique. This whiskey has been finished in casks made from virgin Irish oak grown in Kylebeg Wood on the Ballykilcavan Estate, near Stradbally in Co. Laois.

While evidence for whiskey distillation in the north of Ireland reaches back over 1000 years, Bushmills was granted its license to distill in 1608, making it the oldest licensed whiskey distillery in the world. Here along the River Bush, generations have passed on this whiskey tradition.

Created by the descendants of the ancient O’Driscoll Clan, the famous Pirate & Smuggler ancestors from Baltimore, West Cork, comes this exceptional blended Irish whiskey. Made from a blend of grain and malted barley, triple distilled and matured in bourbon casks for a minimum of 3 years.

Conor McGregor, and his team searched for a place and people that shared the same passion for Ireland and its whiskey. He found this at the oldest whiskey distillery on the Isle of Ireland and with his master distiller created a unique and special blend.

Founder’s Reserve is a unique take on the old Irish Pot Still Whiskey and is the original and signature blend created by founder Bernard Walsh. It is a blend of two styles, Single Malt and Single Pot Still. The proportions used are 70% Single Malt and 30% Single Pot Still, with no grain whiskey present.

The first ever single pot still Irish whiskey finished in Bordeaux casks! The choice of Bordeaux wine is also significant - Ch. Léoville Barton is not only a highly-regarded grand cru Château, but one that takes it's name from the Irish 'Wine Geese' winemaker Thomas Barton. In fact, Léoville Barton is still run by his descendants to this day. This bottling is a celebration of shared Irish heritage.
