History

• Bishop’s Water Distillery was in Wexford, Ireland, and operated between 1827 and 1914. The distillery was known for triple-distilled, old pot still whiskey and was associated with the name Nicholas Devereux Finest Irish Whisky over the years.
• In early 2019, the history was revived and the Bishop’s Water Whiskey brand was restored to bring the historical heritage back into the present day.
• The original highlights included exports to London, Liverpool and Bristol, as well as local and international recognition for its triple-distilled old pot still whiskey. The site was also home to Malt Warehouses with thousands of casks and large quantities of spirits before the closure in 1914.
• The modern version is described as an interpretation of a historic tradition with a focus on local ingredients and cold, crystal-clear water from the Bishop’s Water stream.

Production/Manufacturing

• Bishop’s Water Whiskey is produced using triple distillation, an older Irish technique that suits old pot still whiskey and is said to yield a smoother and more complex profile.
• The raw material base includes locally grown barley and water from the Bishop’s Water stream, described as pure and clear.
• Aging is listed as a minimum of 10 years in oak casks, contributing to the golden color and the complex flavor profile.
• Flavor notes include vanilla, caramel and oak, as part of the whiskey's character after aging.
