Broadlough Irish Whiskey
About the distillery
Broadlough Irish Whiskey is based at Broadlough Estate in Knockrobin, County Wicklow, where the landscape and production are closely connected. Barley is grown on the estate’s mineral-rich, alluvial soil, and the whiskey matures in a coastal, temperate climate. The range includes, among other things, the Estate Barley Pot Still and the first single casks.
Raw materials and production
Broadlough works with heritage grains grown at Broadlough Estate in County Wicklow, and the barley is highlighted as the key raw material in the house’s whisky. The production description is brief but clear: the whiskey is small batch, triple distilled, and matured as twin cask matured. It points to an approach where the raw material from the estate and multi-stage distillation are the main driving forces, while maturation is allowed to build on the distillate’s fundamental character. The estate is also described as a place with mineral-rich, alluvial soil and a climate that is favorable for the maturation warehouse.
Maturation and cask types
Maturation is tied to Broadlough Estate, where a coastal and temperate climate is highlighted as a benefit for the warehouse. There is talk of twin cask maturation, showing that cask work is intended as a deliberate part of the style. The combination of the estate’s climatic conditions and the double cask maturation gives the whiskey the opportunity to develop in an environment closely connected to the location.
Whiskeys
Broadlough’s current selection, as presented here, is small and focused. Estate Barley Pot Still is the clear core story, built around its own cultivation, small batches, and triple distillation. Alongside this are the Inaugural Single Casks, which mark the house’s first single casks and provide more precise expressions of the distillate. Overall, it points to a producer that prioritizes site-based raw materials and a simple, controlled portfolio over a broad range.
