Denotes genuine Irish food culture, ie special Irish food products/companies/producers, and highlights the best places to shop for regional and artisan foods; the selection excludes obvious 'non-Irish' elements regardless of quality, eg ethnic restaurants and specialists in coffee, wine and other drinks, unless relevant to local production or history. Eat & Stay establishments are chosen for their commitment to showcasing local produce and Irish hospitality.

Walsh Distillery at Royal Oak

After a gap of over 200 years, a new era in Carlow distilling has begun.
Tours daily in summer, 10am; 12noon; 2pm & 4pm Advance booking advised (email booking@walshwhiskey.com). Complimentary bus service from Kilkenny Castle to Walsh Whiskey Distillery at Royal Oak on Fridays in summer; depart Kilkenny 10.30 am, returning after 12 noon tour. abbreviations

Not long after Seamus O’Hara started to re-establish craft brewing in Carlow, neighbours Bernard and Rosemary Walsh’s vision for distilling saw them set up Walsh Whiskey (www.walshwhiskey.com) in 1999.


Thanks to their hard work in building up successful brands like The Irishman and Writer’s Tears, in partnership with Irish Distillers, their new distillery on the old Holloden estate at Royal Oak (complete with restored Georgian house and grounds) is now one of Ireland’s largest distilleries with both pot and column stills producing all three types of Irish whiskey – pot still, malt and grain - all made wth local Irish barley.


There’s a visitor centre too, offering a Whiskey Academy, whiskey tours and shop. After a gap of over 200 years, a new era in Carlow distilling has begun.
