West Cork
WCD was formed in 2003 by childhood friends, John O’Connell, Ger McCarthy and Denis McCarthy at a time when it made very little economic
sense to do so. Initially the distillery operated in a room at the back of Denis’ house in Union Hall with two small stills that were purchased from a schnapps producer in Switzerland ... eventually moving to a new distillery in Skibbereen in 2014. The whiskey is triple distilled, matured for a minimum of three years and then bottled on site at the West Cork facility.
