Our Expertise

At Powerscourt Distillery, the home of Fercullen whiskey, the expertise of our team shines through in every bottle.

Head of Brand & New Product Development, John Cashman and Master Distiller & Blender, Paul Corbett, each bring years of experience in their respective fields of Irish whiskey to Powerscourt Distillery.

Their dedication to excellence is evident in our meticulous crafting process, which utilises the local bounties of County Wicklow. We source our water and barley locally, ensuring that our whiskey is not only of the highest quality, but also deeply connected to the rich pastures and natural beauty of the region.

John’s passion for whiskey and love for Wicklow in his role at Powerscourt Distillery has led him into the food side too, involved in Wicklow Naturally supporting the local voice of great food and drink produced in County Wicklow.

Paul (ex-Teeling and Clonakilty Distillery) won the coveted Master Distiller/Master Blender of the Year category of Whisky Magazine’s Icons of Whisky Ireland 2023 Awards and brings to the Fercullen portfolio an unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation, constantly pushing boundaries and setting new standards in the whiskey world.

This commitment to using locally sourced ingredients and traditional methods results in a spirit that truly embodies the essence of Powerscourt.

 

“The spirit laid down at Powerscourt Distillery in 2018 is of exceptional quality. To have the opportunity to blend these liquids and establish the DNA of Fercullen Single Malt has been an honour. I look forward to blending many more releases of Powerscourt Distillery liquid in the coming years.” – Paul Corbett Distillery Manager.
