The Powerscourt Distillery has made history with their latest Fercullen Single Malt release – one hundred years since a whiskey has been distilled in the County, 100% Malt, 100% distilled on the Powerscourt Estate and 100% Wicklow in a bottle.
The Powerscourt Distillery Single Malt is available now from selected stockists nationwide and from the Powerscourt Distillery and Visitor Centre, as well as its online store. The first 6,000 bottles are numbered for the initial release. RRP for the release is €55. Abv 46% non-chill filtered, bourbon barrel aged.
“Our First Fercullen Single Malt release takes authentic inspiration from our unique location,” said John Cashman, the head of new product development for The Powerscourt Distillery. “It is a great honour to be involved in the inaugural release of a whiskey which was completely distilled here in Powerscourt Distillery.
“The whole team are exceptionally proud of this key milestone in our story, especially our first employee and senior distiller, Johnathan Graham, who, alongside our founding master distiller, supervised the first distillation in 2018. Our award-winning master distiller, Paul Corbett, has curated the final liquid – a sensational single malt worthy of the title “Spirit of Wicklow”.
“The spirit laid down at Powerscourt Distillery in 2018 is of exceptional quality. To have the opportunity to blend these liquids and establish the DNA of Fercullen Single Malt has been an honour. I look forward to blending many more releases of Powerscourt Distillery liquid in the coming years,” said master distiller Paul Corbett.
“This is a great milestone that we can all be very proud of, a whiskey that will set the benchmark for all liquid distilled at Powerscourt Distillery,” said Ryan Stapleton global head of sales.
“Following the announcement earlier in the year of the appointment of Zamora as our importer in the US, we are delighted to add to our existing portfolio with our signature Fercullen Single Malt. The product will be initially rolled out domestically with our trade partner Barry & Fitzwilliam and in Global Travel Retail with Duty Free Global before being made available in EU and Asian markets.”
