Product description
Tipperary Boutique Distillery was founded in 2016 by Liam Ahearn and his wife Jennifer Nickerson.
Jennifer is the daughter of Stuart Nickerson, previously a distillery manager for the Edrington Group and Wm Grant & Sons distilleries and founder of The Malt Whisky Company. The distillery, based on the Ahearn family’s Ballindoney Farm, began distilling with four small stills in late 2020. Tipperary Watershed was launched two years earlier, a single malt bottled in small batches (usually six first-fill bourbon casks from an undisclosed distillery, selected by Stuart Nickerson). The whisky is bottled at 47% abv and is unchill-filtered.
