Walsh Whiskey Distillery’s expansion plans have attracted significant development funding from the Italian drinks company, Illva Saronno Holding SpA, which is owned and run by the Reina family in Saronno near Milan.
The investment will facilitate the development of a world-class, independent, craft Irish whiskey distillery; maturation warehouses and a unique visitor experience by the banks of the River Barrow in Royal Oak, County Carlow by 2016. The expansion will create a total of 55 permanent and part-time jobs in the Carlow area, over 5 years, where the whiskies will be distilled, crafted and aged. The Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, through Enterprise Ireland, is supporting this project.
