Built by Locals, Distilled in Skibbereen
West Cork Distillers started in 2003 with two small stills in the back room of a house in Union Hall — founded by childhood friends John O'Connell, Ger McCarthy and Denis McCarthy — and has grown into a 12-acre distillery in Skibbereen that ships Irish whiskey to more than 70 countries. The Original Blend stays true to those roots: local ingredients, triple distillation, and bourbon-cask maturation with nothing stripped out by chill filtration.

Tasting Notes
Expect a soft, approachable pour — honey and malt up front with vanilla and light citrus from the bourbon casks, a whisper of sweet spice mid-palate, and a smooth, clean finish. Triple distillation keeps it gentle; the non-chill filtration keeps the texture full.
How to Enjoy
Neat or over a single cube to appreciate the malt character, or as the backbone of an Irish Coffee or a highball — a versatile house-pour Irish blend.
