Hi, the nearest distillery to Newcastle West is Midleton in Cork. They make Midleton, Jameson, Powers, Paddy, Tullamore... There used to be a distillery in Limerick, but it closed about 100 years ago.

Thank you very much. That is a huge help. I am a big fan of Middleton and need to learn more about them. I hope to visit in the next 18 months. My next pairing will be a Whiskey from the Tipperary area. I will post all findings here as they happen. Any new ideas for the Tipp pairing would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again!

Clonmel Peated Irish Malt

This is very hard to find, having been released some time ago

Horse & Jockey

This one has yet to be released, we think it is destined for the US market
