A field of barley on
the Curraghmore estate.
Below:
Curraghmore’s
whiskey casks
surroundings in Ireland, with the sound
of some of the best acts in the world
from all genres reverberating around the
magnificent landscape.
Richard, the Earl of Tyrone, has set
up Curraghmore Whiskey. The whiskey
is single-estate, meaning only barley
grown on the rich lands of Curraghmore
is used in the distilling process. With the
new-age whiskey drinker showing fascination
for how, what and where the whiskey has
come from, Richard wants to map out
a clear route from start to finish down
to the fine detail of explaining in which
field the barley was grown at Curraghmore.
A mid-17th-century carriage horse
stables has been renovated into the
Curraghmore Whiskey tasting room,
and this is the real home of Curraghmore
Whiskey, where members can visit to
taste their own tailor-made single-estate
pot-still Irish whiskey.
Currently, Curraghmore Whiskey
is producing very small batches every year,
so it is an extremely rare and unique whiskey.

They have a third-party distilling partnership
in the Great Northern Distillery managed
by John Teeling, and bottled stock is not
available, but will be released in the future.
At present there is the opportunity to
buy a cask of Curraghmore Whiskey that
comes with a tailor-made aspect. Tailor-
made meaning the buyer can choose what
type of cask they use to mature their whiskey
in. Wood affects about 70% of a whiskey’s
taste, so essentially the buyer is having their
very own expression on a very rare single-
estate Irish whiskey – a truly unique offering
within the world of whiskey.
On buying a cask, the buyer becomes
a member of Curraghmore Whiskey, which
not only offers a wonderful whiskey adventure
from start to finish following the maturing
of their Curraghmore Whiskey, but it gives
members direct access to the estate. Managed
by Richard, a member can access all the
wonders the estate has to offer. And you
can only imagine what 800 years of family
history looks like.
