A small family farm on the southwest coast of Ireland and an Irish farmer with a very big dream. The Scully family, the founders of Clonakilty distillery, have farmed this windswept coastal land for 9 successive generations. With the best resources that nature has to offer, prime land, pristine water and salt sea air, they had the perfect ingredients for a maritime distillery.

The family grow their own heritage barley on their family farm in the shadow of the Galley Head Lighthouse, where centuries of sea mist, soft rain and ocean spray provide a complexity to the soil that permeates through to each individual grain.
