A tribute to the restless, the explorers and the adventurers. Embrace new, delicious whiskey possibilities. Tastes to return to, time and again.

 

 
 

The merchant families of Limerick, local government and port officials came together to build the Sailor’s Home in 1856. A stone’s throw from the Shannon Estuary and the Atlantic Ocean. A noble and practical idea. To offer welcome and sanctuary on the journey to seafarers and explorers coming through the port.

 
 

 

Celebrating the explorer's spirit since 1856

These symbols of exploration and welcome are carved in stone and marble, and commemorate laying the foundation stone.

 
 
 

ONE STEP MORE. FOR TASTE.
TASTE ABOVE ALL ELSE.

Sailor’s Home seeks to create the greatest Irish whiskey expressions possible, from our craft know-how and the passion to explore.

Sailor’s Home Irish whiskey is expertly sourced, distilled, and wood policy set to our specification. It’s made in Ireland and shaped by the world - aged to perfection, blended and finished to create wonderful taste experiences. All under the watchful eye of legendary maker, Dr. Jack Ó’Sé.

“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors.”

Terry Pratchett

 

when you find it you know

Sailor’s Home is about the reward and welcome of home for all those with the need to explore. It’s about the West coast of Ireland and the sea. The welcome and character, place and people of Limerick.

We hope you enjoy Sailor’s Home whiskey - a pleasure to be savoured. Sláinte!

We’re inspired by the seafarer’s spirit - to explore one step further to craft outstanding whiskeys.

EXPLORE AT THE LIMITS
We’re independent, free to create and to push past boundaries.

MAKE IT BETTER
We strive to innovate, never accepting the status quo.

CONNECTED IN WHAT WE DO
Our world is our community, we treat others as we find them and we never forget our home, where we’re from.

The Sailor’s Home, built with noble intentions in 1856, was never used for its original purpose due to racism, fear and distrust. Today, to all we say “céad míle fáilte”, a hundred thousand welcomes - Sailor’s Home stands for:

exploration and responsible enjoyment
inclusivity, equality and diversity
sustainability

"THERE ARE NO STRANGERS HERE, only friends you haven’t met yet.”
