Prior to the establishment of Blackwater Distillery, Clashmore was the last distillery in Waterford and it closed by 1840s. The distillery chimney still straddles the river Greagagh river which runs through the heart of the village of Clashmore.

Working with local historians, Blackwater head distiller John Wilcox worked out the typical Clashmore grain bill, then brought it to life up the road in Ballyduff. The resulting whisky is something of an ode to the oat, matured exclusively in sherry wood (there were no bourbon casks), this expression is a real peak into the kind of Irish whisky that has been lost to time and the snide slide rule of multi-national accountants.

So why not try this two hundred year old whisky we made four years ago.
