Cape Clear Distillery

The home of Artisan Gin in Ireland

Cape Clear is a Gaeltacht (Irish speaking) island eight miles off the southwest coast of County Cork; it's a stunningly beautiful place.

Though our island continues to experience a decline in its population, there is hope.

We've produced a gin that has proven capable of winning awards at the most prestigious and competitive events in the world.

We've been granted planning permission for a state-of-the-art whiskey distillery building. The tide is rising; please join us on our journey.

Our Island

Located on the Wild Atlantic Way, Cape Clear Island is the ideal setting for a distillery, visitor centre and cask store.

This is a Gaeltacht/Irish-speaking island, famed for its natural beauty. It is recognised worldwide for storytelling, language, traditional music, and sailing.

Also associated with the island is the iconic Fastnet lighthouse, located on a solitary rock formation four miles to the west.
