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.
REWARD COMES
FROM EXPLORATION
We are independent, free to create and to push past boundaries.
MAKE IT BETTER
We strive to innovate and improve, never accepting the status quo.
CONNECTED IN WHAT WE DO
Our world is our community, yet we never forget the importance of home and where we are from. We treat others as we find them.
FOR SEARCHERS AND SEEKERS
Sailor’s Home is about the West coast of Ireland and the sea. The welcome, character, place, people and stories of Limerick. It’s about all those with the need to explore.
We believe in the power of exploration, that we must continue to make it better and that we’re connected in what we do. The Sailor’s Home, founded with noble intentions in 1856, was never used for its original purpose. Due to racism, fear and distrust, its opening was delayed and many potential positive uses for the building were scuppered. The Sailor’s Home Company stands for tolerance, diversity, positive change and respect for others.
