Flying Tumbler Irish Whiskey


Meet Flying Tumbler Whiskey, the independent Irish whiskey brand from Co. Carlow that's all about adventure, quality, and a good laugh. We don’t just bottle whiskey – we hunt down the best spirit to our exact specs, then mature it, blend it, and bottle it ourselves, all right here in Carlow, Ireland. You can find our three unique bottlings ready to fuel your next adventure – whether you're sipping at home, at your favorite pub, or ordering online from your couch in your pajamas. No judgment here.

Our story? It's a classic Irish homecoming – two brothers, a shared passion, and a pigeon. Yep, you read that right. Inspired by the legendary Irish Flying Tumbler, a pigeon with an unbeatable homing instinct, we returned to Ireland after years abroad to do what we love – making great whiskey with a dash of wanderlust. Just like our feathered friend, we’ve gathered stories from around the world, bringing them home to craft small-batch independent Irish whiskey that’s packed with character, charm, and a hint of mischief.

Testimonials

Quirky independent light whiskey blend matured in bourbon & oloroso barrels. Hints of citrus/dried fruits which is quite mellow and a pleasant. Very light burn, not overpowering, I tried it neat but possibly would benefit from a drop of water next time round. Pretty unique scent. Aesthetically it has a nice quirky design which is a departure from the typical Irish Whiskey style and a bottle more similar to Japanese styles with individually inscribed batch numbering on each bottle & tube.

Lucas

A solid Irish whiskey, not made like this often enough

Cian

Quite soft and citrusy on the nose with floral hints - reminds me of some bourbons. On the palate a bit more grain than malt. Some vanilla and dried fruits. When it opens up a bit, you get a bit more. It's like putting the volume up a couple of notches.
