Clonakilty Distillery Unveils Its 32-Year-Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey
November 29th, 2023
Clonakilty Distillery proudly announces the launch of its 32-Year-Old Single Malt Irish whiskey. This extraordinary whiskey, matured in sherry Oloroso hogshead casks, has spent the last 8 years in their warehouse perched at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.
Perfected by the elemental forces of the ocean, it pays homage to the transformative influences of rain, mist, and sea spray on exceptional spirits.
Oisin Mulcahy, Head Distiller, shared, “With the passage of time, the fruit flavours have matured, revealing rich notes reminiscent of Christmas cake. A delightful plum pudding sweetness is impeccably balanced by the opulence of prunes and fig. We have six casks in total, and we are going to release four or possibly five at most, so this is an exceptionally limited release. “
Each individual cask is bottled at cask strength, and each bottle is individually numbered and labelled accordingly, underscoring the rarity of this release. Housed in a premium wooden case, exuding an aura of elegance and sophistication, the meticulously crafted 700ml bottle within is a true embodiment of luxury.
As an additional indulgence, a 50ml tasting vial accompanies each purchase, affording enthusiasts the opportunity to savour a small serving before committing to the full experience. More than a whiskey, it is a revered collectible for connoisseurs who discern and appreciate the rarity and craftsmanship encapsulated within every precious drop.
If you’re looking for a truly refined and smooth whiskey to gift or sip on this festive season, Clonakilty 32-Year-Old Single Malt is available for purchase in Ireland and the EU, please contact paddy.gilley@clonakiltydistillery.ie

April 6th, 2023: Clonakilty Distillery becomes the first distillery to win Best New Make Whiskey in Ireland, twice.
Clonakilty Distillery celebrates scooping gold for Best New Make in Ireland for their Single Pot Still Spirit at the World Whiskies Awards 2023. This comes after receiving the same honour in 2020.
Accepting the award at a ceremony at Merchant Taylor’s Guild Hall in London, Michael Scully, Clonakilty Distillery founder, said: “We are proud to be the first whiskey producer to win this award twice, and see it as a confirmation that we are on the right path to launching a truly great whiskey in 2024, when we go to market with our single pot still whiskey for the first time.”
On the awards night, the distillery secured two further golds for Best Single Malt (12 Years and Under), and Best Single Cask Single Malt (21 Years & Over) In Ireland.
“Our success is a tribute to the team we have, and for their expertise, craftmanship and dedication to distilling quality spirits,” according to Scully. “This good news follows other recent victories, including the recognition of our Minke Vodka as one of the best vodkas in the world, and our Minke Gin as Ireland’s best classic gin.”

Triple Gold Award Details
- Best New Make & Young Spirit
Judges Notes:
“The nose opens with a sake-like, fermented rice quality, baked potato and toasted cornflake notes, as well as blanched green beans. The palate leans towards toasted rice milk with fresh almonds and bitter cacao. The finish is light with gentle spiciness.
- Best Single Malt 12 Years & Under
Judges Notes:
“Black cherries and peaches on the nose build to toffee, raisins and apricots, before brown bread, ripe banana and walnuts arrive on the palate. The finish brings creamy milk chocolate in with gentle floral-like spices.”
- Best Single Cask Single Malt 21 Years & Over
Judges Notes:
“Apple crumble, cinnamon spice and gingerbread give a wonderful introduction to a sweet nose, which builds with tangerine, pineapple and blackcurrant on the palate. The finish features a dusty liquorice and mezcal-like funk.
