Distillery Diaries is a series of short films that explore our journey to making whiskey history in the West of Ireland. Part II in the series focuses on the work of local Stone Mason, John (Jokie) O’Brien. Our team of local stonemasons have spent the last 12 months reconstructing and replicating the walls of the old mill, using the original stone. This has been a steady and intricate process with inspiring results.

“It might bring back the village to what it used to be, much more lively, much more work and much more everything… I’m local, when I’m retired, I’ll be able to drive by and say I was part of that.’ – John O’Brien, Local Stone Mason.
