About this product
The Spirit of the Irish North Coast.
Crafted in the shadow of the Giant’s Causeway, The Sexton Single Malt is a whiskey steeped in mystery, myth, and mastery. Made from 100% Irish malted barley and triple-distilled in copper pot stills, it embodies the soul of modern Irish whiskey — bold, rich, and unapologetically distinctive. Aged exclusively in hand-selected Oloroso sherry casks, The Sexton reveals layer upon layer of dark fruit, honeyed oak, and toasted spice, all wrapped in a silky, approachable texture.
This is a whiskey that celebrates both heritage and rebellion — the old craft made new again. Its distinctive black hexagonal bottle and gothic-inspired branding hint at the spirit within: complex, dramatic, and impossible to forget. In Ireland, The Sexton has become a favourite among whiskey lovers seeking something unique, with a smoothness that appeals to newcomers and a sherry-driven depth that intrigues connoisseurs alike.
Every sip feels like a quiet conversation between Ireland’s ancient past and its bold, creative present. The Sexton invites you to savour that balance — a whiskey made not for the ordinary, but for those who appreciate the art of difference.
Why we love it:
We love The Sexton Single Malt for its daring personality and sherry-cask richness. It’s smooth, layered, and deeply flavourful, with notes of dried fruit, nuts, and a hint of chocolate. A fantastic Irish whiskey for those who enjoy both character and craft — perfect for sipping neat or exploring creative serves.

About the producer
The Sexton was created by master blender Alex Thomas, one of Ireland’s leading female whiskey makers. Her vision was to craft a single malt that honoured Ireland’s deep whiskey heritage while embracing modern style. The name “Sexton” refers to a church custodian — the keeper of stories, memories, and secrets — a fitting symbol for a whiskey that blends past and present in every drop.
