Production Process
Brewing
A key ingredient of our blend, some of our barley is bought in, and some is grown on our very own estate, but it's always Irish.

Fermentation
All of our whiskey washes are fermented in traditional wooden washbacks and fermented longer for a more complex flavour.

Maturation
After distillation, our whiskey is carefully casked into 3 selected barrels - virgin oak, seasoned Tennessee whiskey and Oloroso sherry, and allowed to mature.

Blending
Once the whiskey is matured, we expertly blend the three cask types together to get Slane Irish Whiskey. Which we then bottle for you to savour.
