The company is borne from a collaboration between Camus (Cyril Camus) the world’s leading family-owned cognac producer, and the Baring Family’s Revelstoke Trust (Alexander Baring).
Both gentlemen have ancestral lineages and shared history and came together to create a unique Irish whiskey with a difference. This collaboration between Camus and the Baring Revelstoke Trust is inspired by and named after the island of Lambay, Ireland, a private wildlife sanctuary owned by the Baring Family since 1904.
Lambay Irish Whiskey Designated Activity Company was set up on Wednesday the 8th of February 2017 and is a separate business unit that belongs to the Camus Group.
Headed by Managing Director, Jean-David Costerg the company is also a member of IBEC, the Irish Whiskey Association and the Irish Spirits Association. LIWC currently trades in over 30 markets and has received to date over 30 Whiskey Awards from the Spirits Industry.
Lambay Whiskey is a portfolio that brings a unique cognac cask finish to the Irish whiskey category. The portfolio includes Lambay Small Batch Blend, Lambay Single Malt, Lambay Malt, Lambay Single Cask Strength.
Lambay Irish Whiskey is a combination of centuries-old Irish whiskey-making expertise and five generations of French cognac blending and maturation expertise. Currently sourcing liquid from independent distilleries in Ireland, LIWC is ultimately a blending and bottling company with the ambition to have a micro-distillery on Lambay Island by 2025. A craft whiskey focused on the impact of maritime maturation on casks, the island hosts a bonded warehouse called the Sea Cask room, and water from Lambay island’s Trinity Well is used in the finish of the whiskey.

Lambay Irish Whiskey release a journey of taste, with its Limited-Edition Reserve Cask Series of Single Malts
Created through a collaboration between Camus, the world’s leading family-owned cognac producer, and the Baring Family’s Revelstoke Trust, Lambay Irish Whiskey is a combination of centuries-old Irish whiskey-making expertise and five generations of French Cognac blending and maturation expertise.
Lambay Island is a unique location, a hidden paradise just three miles off the coast of Dublin, Ireland. Here lies a playground for puffins, a sanctuary for seabirds, and the adopted home of a troupe of wallabies. Lambay Island is also home to our bonded warehouse the Sea Cask Room open to the rich micro-climate of maritime winds and sea pollens on Lambay. Our sleeping casks effectively absorb the rich Island maritime conditions of iodine, sea spray, and salt that enrich our oak cognac casks with unique taste profiles.
Born from independently sourced single malts and created for a discerning whiskey palette, Lambay Whiskey is delighted to announce the launch of a new three-part collector’s series of Single Malts called the Reserve Cask Series.
Lambay Whiskey Single Malt – Batch 01 is the initial step in this new journey of taste, the first batch of the series, limited to 10,000 bottles. Key markets, IRE, DE, FR, NL, China, and Japan and will be available on shop.lambaywhiskey.com from April. Batch 02 will release at the end of 2022 and Batch 03 end of 2023.
“This series is designed to push the boundaries for our whiskey fans to taste the diversity of cask finishes we can create in our single malts. Our first Lambay Single Malt release in 2018 was a huge success with its floral, tropical notes and lingering sweetness attracting a new swathe of whiskey drinkers to Lambay,” commented Sabine Sheehan – Global Brand Ambassador Lambay Whiskey.
“This Reserve Cask Series will challenge that profile with three very different limited-edition cask releases. Oak, tobacco, salt and peat will challenge the traditional sweet, floral and mellow profile we had before, opening us up to new consumers that prefer those taste profiles and wish to leverage up, on their current favorites.”
Lambay Whiskey Single Malt -Batch 01 is no ordinary single malt. It’s a journey of taste. The first release from our Reserve Cask Series, a rich triple-distilled single malt, matured in bourbon barrels and finished in Lambay Whiskeys signature style of French Camus cognac casks.
Batch 01 contains a higher percentage of island matured Lambay Single Malt delivering a more intense salty note. This Single Malt consists of both first-fill and second-fill cognac cask finishing creating a more intense mouthfeel of spice, tobacco, and pepper on the palette.
This series is designed to push the boundaries for our whiskey fans to taste the diversity of cask finishes we can create in our single malts.

Blended with Single Malt from our Island warehouse, the whiskey has soft smoky attributes with slight salinity and a lingering finish that balances the rich oak and herb note. Before bottling, the island’s own Trinity Well water is added in the final flourish, to deliver this delicious, triple distilled Irish whiskey.
A truly distinctive taste experience, that takes you on a journey of sea, island and cask, from the first sip to the last.
Colour: Oak brown
Aroma: Oak, light smoke, herb, and tobacco
Taste: Rich mouthfeel with hints of oak and tobacco,
developing into spice like black pepper, salt, and very light smoky notes
Finish: Rich oak and pepper with lingering herbal notes and salt
ABV 43% | Non Chill-filtered
Recommended serve:
Due to the high abv of 43% we recommend sipping straight up and with an added pinch of sea salt, which compliments the malt excellently – serve alongside a slice of your favourite crafted dark chocolate or savour with fresh oysters.
Alternatively, adding a small drop of water will effuse the malt and oak notes.
Cocktail: Serve as a smoked Rosemary Old-Fashioned with Thyme garnish to enhance the herb note.
