Clonakilty "Galley Head" Bourbon Cask Finish

Ireland’s Coastal Bourbon Cask Adventure.
Clonakilty “Galley Head” is a beautifully crafted blended Irish whiskey that captures the spirit of the Wild Atlantic Way in every sip. Produced in West Cork, this expression combines a selection of fine pot still and grain whiskeys, carefully married and matured in bourbon barrels before receiving an additional bourbon cask finish. Named after the iconic Galley Head Lighthouse, it evokes the rugged beauty of Ireland’s southwest coastline—the salty sea air, rolling waves, and warm Irish hospitality.

The blend offers a smooth, approachable dram with layers of honeyed sweetness, vanilla, soft orchard fruits, and gentle spice, all enhanced by the richness of the bourbon cask finishing. Its well-rounded texture and balanced character make it a versatile whiskey for both neat sipping and creative cocktails. Non-chill filtered to preserve full flavour and mouthfeel, Clonakilty “Galley Head” delivers the authentic depth that whiskey enthusiasts love while remaining accessible to those new to Irish whiskey.

For Irish whiskey lovers, it’s a taste of coastal craftsmanship, tradition, and innovation—a blend that reflects both the heritage of West Cork and the adventurous spirit of the Atlantic coast.
