Clonakilty Distillery celebrates whiskey milestone

Work on a new maturation facility for the Cork-based distillery is also set to begin this year

Michael Scully, the founder of the distillery, said that the news marked a significant turning point for the business.

Clonakilty Distillery is celebrating a significant milestone this week after their spirit was legally declared an Irish whiskey.

The Cork-based distillery first filled their whiskey casks when the premises opened in 2019 to allow the spirit to mature for the three years required to market it as an Irish whiskey.
