Our Whiskey

Believe in the Journey

At McCarthy’s, we believe an exceptional whiskey is born of an exceptional journey.

Our craftsmen begin by creating a blend of high-quality single-grain and single-malt Irish whiskeys, hand-selected from our partner distillery, one of the most respected and historic in Ireland. We do not choose our comrades lightly.

Our partners are renowned for the excellence of their raw ingredients, their state-of-the-art distilling methods, and a culture of precision and pride.

Once selected, our spirit is matured in ex-Bourbon casks and finished in seasoned Sherry casks, resulting in a whiskey of gentle complexity, layered character, and a remarkably smooth finish.

A Taste to Remember

Triple distilled for unrivaled smoothness and matured in two distinct cask types, McCarthy’s Irish Whiskey offers a dynamic and rewarding tasting profile.

Tasting Notes:

  • Opening: Hints of toasted oats, bright yellow apple, and warm cinnamon spice, with drops of dried vine fruits.
  • Mid-Palate: Soft, grain-driven sweetness balanced with the vibrant citrus of malt whiskey.
  • Finish: A lasting impression of nutty vanilla and rich creaminess.

The sweet softness of the grain and the lively lift of the malt create a synthesis that is smooth, layered, and unmistakably McCarthy’s.

Legend Distilled

Our Irish whiskey journey began long ago.

The McCarthy name carries an esteemed legacy, tracing back to one of Ireland’s great medieval clans — rulers of Munster, fierce in battle, resolute in spirit. Their history runs parallel to the origins of distilling itself, a craft requiring vision, patience, and courage.

Today, McCarthy’s Irish Whiskey stands as a proud statement of that shared heritage. We honor the wisdom, resilience, and fierce determination of our ancestors, looking toward the future with the same spirit that defined them.

Our whiskey is not just a spirit. It is a continuation of a legend.

Premium by Design

Our initial release is a premium, non-chill filtered blend, triple distilled and double casked to achieve clarity, balance, and depth. This meticulous process elevates McCarthy’s beyond the familiar, offering a richer and more refined experience than many Irish whiskeys at a comparable level.

For those seeking authenticity with a spirit of discovery, McCarthy’s delivers something rare.

This is just the beginning. Our team is dedicated to developing a full range of aged whiskeys, blending tradition and innovation — including unique cask finishes, rare single malts, and new expressions introduced in stages to cultivate expectation and loyalty.
