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.

"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

⁠
Now she's writing a new chapter. And we couldn't be more proud she's writing it with us.

Legend says monks introduced the craft to Ireland as early as 584 AD.⁠
⁠
Today, Hawk’s Rock Distillery is proudly reviving that ancient tradition in Sligo once again.

Layered, elegant, and unmistakably Irish. 🥃⁠
⁠
Garavogue opens with aromas of vanilla, warm peach and spun sugar, followed by delicate floral and raisin notes. On the palate, citrus sweetness and creamy ripe apple lead into a beautifully fresh, fruit-driven finish.⁠
⁠
A whiskey defined by its cask journey - and by time.
