We recently had the pleasure of welcoming distinct groups to visit West Cork Distillers including Maryborough Hotel, Barry’s Bar, O’Driscolls, and The South County Bar.
During their visit they learned every process of making West Cork Whiskey from sourcing of the finest locally grown grains to the precise blending of aged spirits and they got to witness firsthand the craftsmanship behind West Cork Irish Whiskey.
During their visit, these groups witnessed the seamless integration of state-of-the-art equipment with traditional methods. The groups gained insights into the crucial role of barrel selection and maturation, learning how various wood types and aging conditions influence the whiskey’s character.
The trade visit ended with a whiskey tasting where participants had the opportunity to sample a variety of West Cork’s finest whiskeys including Bourbon Cask, a firm favourite for Irish whiskey cocktails as well as Black Cask Irish Whiskey. The group also discovered the meticulous process behind our whiskey production including our custom-designed pot stills, including the ‘Rocket’ still.
