Mourne Dew blends traditional Irish distilling techniques with pioneering vacuum distillation, crafting world-class spirits that capture the bold, pure essence of The Mournes.
With distilling roots tracing back to the 1870s, founder Donal Farrell left a successful legal career to revive his family’s craft – taking it further than ever before.
We combine time-honoured mash bills with cutting-edge vacuum distillation, producing whiskeys, gins, poitíns, vodkas and liqueurs of unmatched smoothness and depth.
Mourne Dew was founded in 2017 by Donal Farrell, a former barrister and chartered accountant. His inspiration came from an unexpected place—a court case involving cold distillation for forensic DNA extraction. This sparked an idea: what if the same technology could be used to create ultra-pure, high-quality spirits?
Inspired by the Neolithic Mourne gold lunula, our emblem symbolises craftsmanship, ambition and the pursuit of excellence in Irish spirits.
Rooted in Irish history, our signature deep blue reflects the Coat of Arms of Ireland (1932), honouring our heritage while embracing modern innovation.
