Hawks Rock Distillery

Hawks Rock Distillery Hawk's Rock Distillery is located in the historic Hazelwood Estate, Co. Sligo. You must be of legal drinking age to follow. Drink Responsibly.

Athrú (pronounced Ahh Roo) is an Irish word meaning to change or transform. A progressive brand name, it captures the formative effect of time on a fine single malt as it is transformed from clear raw spirit to rich amber whiskey. It's also a nod to the transformation that has taken place in the surrounding estate over the centuries and its latest reincarnation as a single malt whiskey distillery.

Last week, Hawk's Rock Distillery welcomed Irish Whiskey Association members to Sligo for their Annual Away Day.⁠
⁠
Members, industry leaders and senior political representatives came together for tours, tastings and strategic discussions.⁠
⁠
We were especially delighted to welcome Midlands North-West MEP Nina Carberry to the event.⁠
⁠
From distillery tours to a boat trip on Lough Gill aboard the Rose of Innisfree, the day showcased Sligo's growing profile as a home for premium Irish whiskey production and a natural destination for the sector’s flagship gatherings.

'I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,⁠
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;⁠
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,⁠
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.⁠
⁠
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,⁠
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;⁠
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,⁠
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.⁠
⁠
I will arise and go now, for always night and day⁠
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;⁠
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,⁠
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.'⁠
⁠
WB Yeats' most famous poem read by the poet against a backdrop of the Sligo scenery that inspired him.⁠
⁠
Happy Yeats Day from Hawks Rock Distillery.

"It is unusual for a whiskey to be blended with this number and variety of casks, but just as the river ebbs and flows, the flavours create a wonderful blend as they weave together in this 20-year-old single malt.” - Hawk's Rock Master Blender, Helen Mullholland
