In the Distillery

• Clonakilty handcrafted Irish whiskey is made from both malted and unmalted barley, sourced from the family farm or grown by local farmers.
• A long fermentation period, exceeding 100 hours, allows indigenous yeasts to fully develop a complex array of natural flavours.
• The whiskey is triple-distilled in long-necked pot stills, producing a lighter, sweeter spirit that is smooth and refined.
• The eau de vie is diluted with pure spring water from Clonakilty’s own well.
• The spirit is then aged in oak barrels in a warehouse overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

Clonakilty Distillery: The Atlantic Distillery

Located in West Cork, near the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, the family-run Clonakilty Distillery leverages a unique maritime microclimate to age its whiskies. Founded by Michael Scully, whose family has farmed this coastal land for nine consecutive generations, the distillery is a true “grain-to-glass” operation.

From selecting a heritage strain of barley nurtured by salty ocean air to drawing pure spring water from their own deep-rock well, every step is designed for ultimate quality. Triple-distilled in traditional long-necked pot stills, Clonakilty produces a lighter, sweeter, and more refined distillate, famously enhanced by their pioneering cask-finishing programs. The distillery collaborates with breweries in Ireland and the USA to create distinctive whiskies and also produces the premium Minke Vodka and Gin.
