[H2] WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We did the distillery tour when we stayed in Powerscourt as part of our honeymoon. When we got to the tour, we discovered we were the only people on it at that time. We thought this would make it an awkward experience but it was the opposite! Our tour guide Seán was so welcoming. Seán is a great story teller and is so passionate about his job. We had a very enjoyable afternoon with lots of delicious whiskey! The tour and whiskey tasting are really interesting and enjoyable experience which we would highly recommend.

Myself and some friends, 6 of us in total, visited the Powerscourt distillery after a recommendation. What we experienced was a lot more than I bargained for. With only a rudimentary knowledge of whiskey, I wasn’t sure whether or not our group would enjoy it but it turned out to be an afternoon very well spent. The history, the process, the storage and the tasting, we got the full A-Z. The guide Adam was very funny too but he certainly knew his whiskey also. A great half day out to Wicklow was had!

We were staying in the Powerscourt hotel and decided to wander down to see if we could do the tour of the distillery on the same estate. Luckily they had availability as we just rocked up with no booking. We were greeted by Stephanie, she was really friendly and informative, we ended up having the tour to ourselves (2 of us). The whiskey tasting at the end was great. Nice smooth whiskeys.

We visited the Distillery last weekend and to say we have a wonderful experience. Although the tour itself was really interesting what was stand out for us and made our tour a whole lot better was our tour guide Robin. She was so engaging and was so willing to answer all of our questions and also have a laugh. I would happily return again and recommend this tour to anyone.

Such a fantastic experience on our doorstep! I booked the whiskey and food pairing tour for a family gathering, and from start to finish it was brilliant. Gerry gave us the tour and we had plenty of time to look at everything and ask questions. The food pairing was something that was new to us all for a Whiskey tasting - all Irish products and mostly very local.

[H2] OUR WHISKEY

Irish Whiskey remains one of the fastest growing spirit categories in the world. It can be broken down into four distinct styles of whiskey: Grain Whiskey, Malt Whiskey, Pot Still Whiskey and Blended Whiskey.
At Powerscourt Distillery we distil both Malt and Pot Still Whiskeys in our distillery, and have released Malt, Grain and Blended Irish Whiskeys under our Fercullen brand.
All of our aged whiskey stock was carefully hand chosen by founding Master Distiller and Blender Noel Sweeney, to allow us to release whiskey while we waited for our distilled liquids to reach maturity. Today, we are distilling and blending round the clock under the watchful eye of lead Distiller & Blender, Paul Corbett.
Gifted with natural spring water on the Powerscourt Estate, lush barley fields for our grain, and a diverse range of oak casks for finishing and blending, we seek the extraordinary in releasing some great new Fercullen whiskeys over the next few years.

An rud nach leigheasann im ná uisce beatha níl aon leigheas air.

This is one of Santina’s favourite ancient Gaelic proverbs, the meaning of which translates to: What butter or whiskey does not cure cannot be cured. She says “These were the two best things an Irish home could have in the larder. The phrase shows not only the reverence the Irish have for their local dairy products and, of course, their whiskey, but it also hints at something that has always existed but is now being more fully appreciated: the combination and intersection of Irish food, drink, and culture.”Santina points to the superb raw materials at the heart of Irish cuisine. “We have the best dairy produce in the world; we have a fantastic culture of producing artisanal, family-farm produced food items.” All of which can work with Irish whiskeys.
