🌍About Hibernia Distillers

Founded in 2014 by brothers Conor and Alan Hyde in Innishannon, County Cork.
Specialization: Hibernia operates as an independent bonder and bottler. They purchase distillates from top Irish distilleries and give them a unique maturation or finish in carefully selected casks.
Philosophy: Their motto is “It’s all about the wood” — the choice of cask determines the soul of the whiskey.

🥃 Hyde Irish Whiskey
Under the Hyde Irish Whiskey label, Hibernia Distillers releases a wide range of expressions:

Single Malt and Single Grain whiskeys, often non‑chill filtered.
Special finishes in sherry, rum, bourbon, port and even calvados casks.
Limited‑batch releases that connect to the historic Irish tradition of whiskey bonding.

✨ What makes Hibernia special?

Family tradition: The Hyde family has been active in the drinks trade for twelve generations, originally starting out as tavern owners.
Innovation: By experimenting with international casks (from bodegas and distilleries around the world) they create unique flavour profiles.
Authenticity: Each bottling tells a story — often named after Douglas Hyde, the first President of Ireland, as a tribute to Irish culture and heritage.
