About us
Who we are…
It has often been said about West Cork Distillers that we are a Irish whiskey distillery built and run by the people, for the people. Based in Skibbereen, the company was founded in 2003 by childhood friends, John O’Connell, Denis McCarthy and Ger McCarthy and has since grown to a team of over 100 people.
