Each farm’s grain is malted and distilled separately so that its character is preserved. The distillery released its first bottles in May 2020, and Hook Head is one of the releases in its Single Farm Origin series, named after a lighthouse on Ireland’s southern coast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it’s made\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe whiskey is made exclusively from Propino barley from the 2015 harvest at Hook Head Farm, using a long fermentation and a slow double distillation.
