Our Way
Inspired by our founders, we’ve protected our craft and family with fierce determination across the centuries. Their uncompromising commitment to do their best, use the best ingredients – and be the best – made us who we are today. Understated yet unstoppable. Supportive but adventurous. Independent, with a talent for collaboration.
Constantly reinventing ourselves, but never changing what really matters: the quality of what we make and the integrity with which we make it. Our forefathers were pioneers. We too are working on new frontiers, teaching timeless skills to the next generation and introducing Irish Distillers to new markets. We continue to innovate to this day with our Micro Distillery allowing us to explore experimental new mash bills and distillates.
Our collaboration with other producers has led to developing new maturation techniques and products for whiskey lovers to enjoy. Yet what makes us proudest of all is the fact that as we write the next chapter in our story, the spirit of our founders lives on and burns bright.
Sustainability & Responsibility
We believe in fairness, integrity and community, with a deep respect for the environment in which we operate. Not because someone said we should, but because it’s the right thing to do.
Our commitment to sustainability and responsibility is expressed in 4 key areas:
-Responding to the challenges of climate change
-Increasing diversity and fairness for our own people and those across our supply chain
-Helping to preserve natural resources
-Combatting alcohol misuse
Our products are made for sharing and savouring, bringing people together for positive experiences and we believe that conviviality can only thrive when there is no excess.
