Barrel-Top Clonakilty Whiskey Distillery from Ireland - Friday 20th November 2026
On Friday 20th November we have a free barrel top event, open to all our customers with no ticket required. This will be for Clonakilty Whiskey from Ireland. Paddy from the distillery will be hosting the barrel top and telling you all about the spirits. Come and try these lovely drams. Clonakilty Distillery (also known as the Atlantic Distillery) is a vibrant, family-run Irish whiskey producer on the Wild Atlantic Way in West Cork. A few words about them: Family & place: Founded by the Scully family, who have been farming the same land for nine generations. The distillery sits in the coastal town of Clonakilty, where the rugged Atlantic influence shapes both the environment and the character of their spirits. Maritime soul: Everything about Clonakilty feels connected to the sea and the land — salty air, barley grown locally, and a true sense of terroir. They’re one of the newer Irish distilleries but have quickly built a strong reputation. Style: They produce a range of Irish whiskeys, including single malt, single pot still, and unique expressions often finished in interesting casks (port, rum, sherry, etc.). Their spirit is known for being fruity, approachable, and full of West Cork personality. In short: Authentic West Cork character in every drop — a modern Irish distillery with deep family roots, Atlantic freshness, and a warm, welcoming spirit. It’s a great example of the exciting revival and innovation happening in Irish whiskey right now. FREE TASTING - no ticket required 11am - 4.00pm - Friday 20th November 2026
