THE SERIES

The King’s Collection
The Opening Chapter

Chronicles of the Coast draws from the folklore, legend and ancient lore of Ireland’s wild Atlantic edge. The series follows a playing card structure, with Kings, Queens, Jacks and Aces forming the foundation of the collection. Each release is drawn from a single cask, with a limited run of hand-numbered bottles, tied to a figure from coastal storytelling and paired with a distinctive, often experimental cask finish.

Year One is The King’s Collection. Four releases, four suits, marking the opening chapter in the series.

Every release in Chronicles of the Coast
is offered to Crew members first.

Year One · The King's Collection

Manannán Mac Lir

King of Spades

Manannán mac Lir — son of the sea, king of Tír na nÓg. In Irish mythology, Tír na nÓg lies beyond the edge of the known world — a realm where time stands still and the living are said to never age. Ancient lore speaks of Manannán on horseback, crossing the open sea as effortlessly as others cross a field — a god for whom the boundary between land and ocean simply does not exist.

“My grandfather grew up on the coast of Clonakilty, on the same land our family has farmed for nine generations. As a child, he spent many an evening at a neighbour’s house, where locals gathered around the fire, whiskey in hand, passing the night with stories. The children, with nowhere to sit, would huddle close to the fire or sit on the floor, wide-eyed, not wanting to miss a word.

Fact, fiction, tales that had grown legs over generations. All of it told as if they had lived it themselves.

Something of that tradition never left this place. Chronicles of the Coast is our way of keeping it alive. Stories from these shores, now told through whiskey.”
