Buskers Irish Whiskey is proudly made at the Royal Oak Distillery, which is located on an 18th-century estate in the Ancient East region of County Carlow, Ireland. As an expert sommelier and brewer, I have had the privilege of visiting this world-class distillery and experiencing firsthand the craftsmanship and dedication that goes into creating each bottle of Buskers whiskey.
The Royal Oak Distillery is truly a sight to behold, with its stunning surroundings and rich history. As I walked through the distillery, I was struck by the sense of tradition and heritage that permeates every corner. The distillery is housed in a beautifully restored 18th-century estate, adding to the overall charm and character of the facility.
One of the things that sets the Royal Oak Distillery apart is its size. It is one of the largest distilleries in Ireland, allowing for the production of a wide range of whiskey styles under one roof. This means that all four types of Buskers whiskey – Single Grain, Single Pot Still, Single Malt, and Blend – are crafted with care and attention to detail in the same location.
The distillery is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and technology, ensuring that each batch of Buskers whiskey is crafted to perfection. However, what truly sets this distillery apart is the expertise and skill of the master distillers. These individuals have a deep knowledge and understanding of whiskey production, honed over years of experience and a true passion for their craft.
During my visit, I had the opportunity to witness the production process firsthand. From the milling of the grains to the fermentation and distillation, every step is carefully orchestrated to create a whiskey that is both consistent in quality and true to its Irish roots. The distillery takes great pride in using locally sourced ingredients, further adding to the authenticity of Buskers whiskey.
Once the whiskey has been distilled, it is then aged in a variety of cask types, including bourbon, sherry, and wine casks. This allows for the development of unique flavors and aromas, adding complexity to each expression of Buskers whiskey. The on-site warehousing facilities are extensive, ensuring that the whiskey can mature in the ideal conditions before being bottled.
One of the things I found particularly fascinating about the Royal Oak Distillery is its commitment to sustainability. The distillery employs environmentally friendly practices, such as using renewable energy sources and implementing water conservation measures. This dedication to sustainability not only reflects the distillery's commitment to preserving the environment but also adds to the overall quality and integrity of Buskers whiskey.
