West Cork Distillers have quietly built up the largest wholly Irish owned whiskey distillery operations in Ireland.

Founded in Union Hall in 2003 by three childhood friends, the business now occupies a large site in Skibbereen and is capable of producing 4 million litres of pure alcohol a year.

All styles of Irish Whiskey are made, Single Grain, Single Malt, Single Pot Still and Blended.

Striving to use Irish grown grain they regularly use Irish wheat rather than the imported corn or maize many other distilleries use.

A visitors centre is scheduled to open in 2020.

Casks Away looks forward to taking you there – when it is safe to do so.
