Blackwater Distillery

Blackwater Distillery is located in the picturesque village of Ballyduff, County Waterford, on the banks of the River Blackwater in Ireland. Founded in 2014 by Peter Mulryan, the distillery has quickly made a name for itself with its innovative and artisanal approach to whiskey production.

A unique feature of Blackwater Distillery is its emphasis on using locally grown ingredients and traditional production methods. The distillery uses copper pot stills.

Blackwater's whiskeys are carefully crafted, with each step of the production process carried out by hand. They are aged in a variety of casks, including ex-bourbon and sherry casks, creating rich and complex flavour profiles with notes of vanilla, fruit and spiciness.

The combination of a beautiful location, high-quality local ingredients and a commitment to quality makes Blackwater Distillery a respected name in the world of Irish whiskey.
