The Pioneer of Irish Whiskey

Since 1779

Founded in 1779, Kinahan’s is one of the world’s first whiskey houses, the pioneer that helped shape the modern whiskey category over centuries. The iconic L.L. mark became the symbol of boldness, raised in royal courts, carried by revolutionaries, and revered across generations.

Today, Kinahan’s stands at the crossroads of heritage and innovation, honouring centuries of craft while redefining whiskey maturation through our pioneering Hybrid Cask™ Method, unlike anything the world has seen.
