Clonakilty Distillery founders, the Scully family, have farmed by this coastal land for eight successive generations. A commitment to both heritage and innovation has led us to revive ancient malting barley varieties. Privileged to be guardians of these scarce grains, we will patiently nurture them to create a range of whiskies that honors this unique inheritance.

Minke Vodka

The luxuriously smooth vodka can be sipped easily or enjoyed over ice with a splash of tonic and a wedge of lime. Elegant and refined, Minke Vodka is perfect in a cocktail. The signature smoothness imparts its velvety mouthfeel and texture to any creative concoction. Without overpowering the other flavours, the vodka simply compliments them, adding a silky sensation with every sip.

Minke Gin

PALATE Nose: Crisp and dry. Taste: Fresh n’ fruity, zesty, later the Rock Samphire from our local cliffs becomes obvious with some green fennel-like notes. FINISH Slightly salty with red peppercorn in the finish.

Galley Head

An exciting offering from Clonakilty Distillers. A premium single malt cut with water that has been naturally filtered through the rock formation off the coast of West Cork. This is cask finished in a minimum of two hand-selected barrels and aged in their ocean side warehouse. Offering notes of oak spice, rich dark chocolate, and red berries, and a long smooth finish.

SINGLE GRAIN BORDEAUX

Alcohol Level: 43.6%

Part of our Cask Finish Series. For our Single Grain Bordeaux Cask Finish we have used a 9 year old premium Irish grain. It is gently cut and finished in carefully selected Bordeaux casks at our Atlantic Ocean warehouse.

THE PORT CASK

Vinification:
The Port Cask expression, the Master Distiller finishes the whiskey in casks imported from the Douro Valley in Portugal in a process which adds a sweetness with spicy notes and a beautiful rich colour.

SINGLE BATCH DOUBLE OAK

A premium product matured in ex-bourbon casks, it is finished in virgin American oak; and shaved, toasted and re-charred ex-red wine European oak casks (NEOC, New Era of Cask). This makes it the world’s first Irish whiskey to be finished in a NEOC cask. NEOC are ex-red wine barrels from the Bordeaux region of France. They are hand-shaved by traditional coopers, and re-toasted according to each individual distiller’s specification.
