When complete, the company will be the largest independently owned, co-located brewery, distillery and visitor centre in Ireland.
Already magnificently eye-catching, there will be plenty on offer for locals and visitors alike. Amongst its many features they will house a gin school and chocolatier. Patrons can enjoy unhindered views of The Gap of Dunloe, Carrauntoohil and Loch Lein from its upscale bistro and rooftop bar.
“The offer is aimed at whiskey enthusiasts or investors, five hundred single pot still and five hundred single malt premium first fill bourbon casks will be exclusively available to purchase,” Michael Crowley, the distillery’s cask sales specialist, said.
It will be distilled and matured on site for five years, at which time the investors or participants can decide on a number of exit options available – including selling it on, taking it home to sample themselves, or maturing it longer.
The option to have it bottled on-site, signed off by the master distiller, with the cask number and bottle numbers (assuring its heritage and provenance), and all wrapped up in the Killarney brand is very appealing, they think!
“There has been a terrific track record of value appreciation for previous competitor cask offerings, so we are confident Killarney Distilling Co. can deliver," Michael said.
"It is an opportunity to be part of the legendary venture and watch your whiskey mature while following the impressive brand that is Killarney Distilling Co."
There is a plethora of additional benefits awaiting participants in The Cornerstone Cask Society. Find out more by emailing cornerstone@killarneybrewing.com.
