The Flying Tumbler Story: How a Pigeon Took Flight (And Brought Whiskey With Him)
At Flying Tumbler, we believe that whiskey should be more than just a drink—it should be an experience. An experience filled with adventure, great company, and stories worth sharing. Our journey began with a simple idea: to create an Irish whiskey that embodies tradition, but with a modern twist. One that celebrates quality, craftsmanship, and a sense of freedom—just like our mascot, Paddy the Pigeon.
Inspired by Adventure
Flying Tumbler takes its name from a special breed of pigeon known for its acrobatic flying style, a nod to our adventurous spirit and love for the unexpected. Like Paddy the Pigeon, our whiskey is all about exploring new horizons and breaking the mold of traditional whiskey-making. We wanted to create something that stands out, something that resonates with those who seek more from their whiskey—more flavor, more fun, and more freedom.
Rooted in Irish Tradition
While our approach is fresh and modern, our respect for Irish whiskey heritage runs deep. We carefully select the finest Irish whiskey spirit, maturing, blending, and bottling it with the utmost care and attention. But unlike the traditional whiskey houses, we do things a little differently. We embrace the “cuckoo” whiskey-making method, working alongside trusted partners like Carlow Brewing Company to bring our vision to life while maintaining full creative control over the process.
Crafted with Passion
From our flagship blend, The Bird, to our latest releases, every bottle of Flying Tumbler is crafted with passion and precision. We take pride in sourcing high-quality ingredients, perfecting our blends, and delivering whiskey that’s smooth, versatile, and accessible to everyone—whether you’re a whiskey aficionado or just getting started.
A Brand for Everyone
Flying Tumbler isn’t about exclusivity or formality. It’s about enjoyment, connection, and celebrating life’s everyday moments. Whether you prefer your whiskey neat, on the rocks, or mixed into your favorite cocktail, there’s no wrong way to enjoy it. Our mission is simple: to make whiskey fun, approachable, and full of character.
Looking Ahead
As we continue our journey, we remain committed to pushing the boundaries, experimenting with new ideas, and sharing our love for whiskey with the world. We’re excited about the road ahead and look forward to raising a glass with fellow whiskey lovers—wherever they may be.
