Founded by Whiskey Lovers – For Real Whiskey Drinkers
An Carn Distillery is situated at the foot of Carntogher Mountain, in the heart of The Sperrins. A region of untold natural beauty and a stronghold of vibrant Gaelic culture. In this wild, untouched and rugged landscape, lies a remarkable new distillery. One that draws on centuries of heritage of Irish Whiskey, with the vision to become a bold and modern new enterprise that will stand for centuries to come.
Our founders have a vision to create a new kind of distillery, join us today and be a part of this exciting new journey.
We are proud to be a family farm distillery. Inspired by nature, ingrained in culture, and excellence instilled in every bottle.
We believe in doing things properly. We use traditional methods and equipment, but with a fresh attitude.
Membership is the only way to access our first ever experimental release series, and spaces are extremely limited.
“The light music of whiskey falling into a glass—an agreeable interlude.”

Why An Carn Irish Whiskey?
Tiny acorns grow into might oaks…
An Carn Distillery was born in the heart of County Derry, Oak Leaf Country; and
much like the little acorn, we too have ambitions to become mighty Oaks. Irish
whiskey is in the midst of a resurgence after experiencing a major decline in the
past century. This saw the industry almost completely collapse. Today, the
industry is back on its feet. Irish whiskey is now the fastest-growing premium
spirit in the world. Its exports have grown 300% in the last decade. With demand
for Irish whiskey soaring, we are awakening a sleeping giant.
