The brand story
The brand is built around Angus Scott, described as a local master distiller. According to the Whiskykort distillery profile, Scott distilled moonshine with local water in the 1780s, was caught by the local customs officer in 1788 and went to America. The profile says the first registered distillery in Garrison dates from 1798. These are the brand's own legends, and we state them as the story the brand tells rather than as verified history.
The modern distillery was built between 2017 and 2022, and Whiskykort reports that the distillery was not yet open to the public because building work was continuing.
The releases
The range is made up of batch releases. The first batch sold at an auction at the London Irish Centre, where a bottle raised 11,000 pounds. A third batch followed, along with a St Brigid's Signature Batch No. 4, a 5cl bottle and personalised bottles.
At the International Wine and Spirit Competition in 2025, St Brigid's Signature Batch No. 4 won gold and the Third Batch won silver.
What makes Scott's Irish Whiskey distinctive?
Irish whiskey project with small collectable batch releases
Scott's Irish Whisky Third Batch is a 43% ABV blended Irish whisky edition. A published auction description identifies peated malt from Scotland, Irish barley and American rye among its components, finished in Chablis casks. That means a branded Scott's bottle should not automatically be described as wholly distilled at the still-growing Garrison distillery. The company still describes its premises as under construction and not open to visitors.
