Anyone tried any of their products? they do a potato vodka, gins (Juniper and Sloe & Honey) and they also have a whiskey.

Fairly naff branding imo.

If they've a whiskey (its not on the website), its not their product. Googling for it suggests that if they do they'll be getting a nasty letter from Pernod Ricard shortly: http://www.mhc.ie/uploads/Irish_Distillers_Dan_Barry.pdf

Branding and the potato usage is obviously pushing to tourists although I'd be interested in trying a potato vodka.

Yeah I've seen the whiskey, NAS, same labelling as the vodka and gin. They also have an elderflower infused gin. Hughes Craft Distillery (norn iron) released a potato vodka ealier in the year too.

I've tried the whiskey and it's pretty good and reasonably priced.

That case mentioned above was about the labels being similar, not over the name.

Does anyone know which of the three sources is the whiskey from originally?

I do but I'm not telling! but I will say that your presumption about the big 3 is only partially right. There are other sources.

There'd be stuff old enough from West Cork and presumably Kilbeggan at this stage but I'd not have thought enough volume to be white labelling.

Alltech hits 3 in a few months too.

ITS a super smooth whiskey and i am a fan the price is high but then I dont mind to get something I like to drink

It contains 21 year old malt and some three year old grain. Maybe they make the grain themselves? Or possibly they get it from Cooley. I'd say the malt comes from Cooley or Bushmills via Cooley/Teeling.

I believe that they're pretty open about the grain coming from West Cork. I'm pretty sure the 21 year old malt is Bushmills.
I like that they aren't pretending to make it themselves like so many other brands

West Cork have Frank McHardy on board, I think. He would have distilled the malt they are using at Bushmills before he left for Spring bank.
