Taste the difference!
Our goal is to produce spirits of character, taste and personality. Most of the spirits we consume today are produced from grains, as they contain high levels of easily converted sugars. We have instead chosen potato as the alcohol base for our Vodka and Gins because of its unique natural sweetness, and its amazing versatility.
As potato has just 20% available dry starch matter, this makes the process much more expensive, but more than compensates for the extra time and effort with its unique taste, aroma and smoother mouth-feel.
Using small batch artisanal methods, we produce a 100% Potato Vodka and a variety of Potato Gins. The added bonus of a grain free distillation is that it’s also naturally gluten free.
We source New Make and Mature Whiskeys from a number of other Irish distilleries, and mature in carefully hand selected oak casks in our bonded warehouse until ready for blending and bottling. This rare flexibility affords us the opportunity to patiently curate, nurture and craft our very own signature whiskeys. All of our whiskeys commence maturation in first fill bourbon barrels, finished in either port, sherry, rum or cognac casks.
The proof is in the bottle! Please reserve judgement until you taste it, preferably neat and chilled.
