West Cork was formed in 2003 by childhood friends, John O’Connell, Ger McCarthy and Denis McCarthy at a time when it made very little economic sense to do so. The early years were far from glamorous, operating in a room at the back of Denis’ house in Union Hall with two small stills they bought from a schnapps producer in Switzerland. In 2014 they moved to a new distillery in Skibbereen.
