US whiskey maker moves to Ireland

Kentucky-based animal health and nutrition group Alltech is moving part of its whiskey business to Ireland, birthplace of the company’s president and founder, Dr Pearse Lyons.

US whiskey maker moves to Ireland

The move has begun with the shipping of a number of Vendome whiskey stills, used by multi-tiered Alltech’s Lexington Brewing Company and made in Louisville, Kentucky, USA.

The new Irish whiskey — which does not yet have a name — will be distilled by Carlow Brewing Company, founded by the O’Hara family in 1996 and best known for the O’Hara stout range.
