Portmagee Whiskey
Portmagee Whiskey is named after Captain Theobald Magee, a Jacobean Smuggler who made Portmagee village and harbour his home port while running a highly successful smuggling business between Portugal, Spain and Ireland in the early 1700’s. Among the contraband he smuggled to Portmagee from Spain and Portugal were textiles, tobacco, wines and of course that staple of 1700’s seafarers, Caribbean Rum.
What better finish for a whiskey to reflect the heritage of Portmagee than a dark rum cask finish from Barbados the Caribbean home of Smugglers and Pirates in the early 1700s. Portmagee Whiskey has sourced an exclusive supply of Barbados Rum Casks to finish all of our whiskeys in. This is the final capstone element that makes our Portmagee 9 Whiskey a true “Spirit of the Sea”.

The Verdict:
"Carly helped develop a suitable tender spec and documentation for the online booking system for the initial launch phase of our visitor centre. Her experience and background saved us considerable time and effort in doing so.
She was a pleasure to work with at all times and made it easy for us to understand what was on offer to the business when the tenders returned."
