Nestled within the stunning Powerscourt Estate in County Wicklow, Powerscourt Distillery marries rich history with modern whiskey-making. Operating out of an beautifully restored 18th-century mill house, the distillery’s location on lands historically known as “Fercullen” (from which their award-winning whiskey takes its name) ties it deeply to Ireland’s ancient past.

What makes Powerscourt unique is its commitment to both heritage and innovation. While still relatively young, established in 2018, it boasts the expertise of Master Distiller Noel Sweeney, a revered figure in Irish whiskey. Visitors can experience a full “grain-to-glass” journey, witnessing distillation in their Forsyths copper pot stills and touring the on-site maturation warehouse. A particular highlight is their immersive whiskey and local food pairing experience, curated by a resident food historian, showcasing the best of Wicklow’s artisanal produce alongside their Fercullen whiskeys. This fusion of exceptional whiskey, historical setting, and local culinary delights makes Powerscourt Distillery a truly distinctive and worthwhile destination.
