EXPANDING

AHASCRAGH
DISTILLERY…

Ahascragh Distillers, founded in 2018 by Gareth and Michelle McAllister in County Galway, is Ireland’s first zero-emissions whiskey and gin distillery. The company has built its identity around sustainability, innovation, and authenticity, using renewable energy, advanced heat recovery systems, and eco-friendly packaging. Recognised with awards such as the SEAI Energy Award and the Greener Planet Award, Ahascragh has positioned itself as a forward-thinking leader in sustainable spirits production. Within its portfolio, Clan Colla Irish Whiskey stands out as the most suitable brand for international expansion. Combining premium quality with rich Irish heritage, Clan Colla reflects both the craftsmanship of traditional distilling and Ahascragh’s pioneering sustainability goals, offering strong differentiation in the global premium whiskey segment.

The expansion targets Singapore, a global hub for premium whiskey imports worth over USD 864 million in 2023. Its brand-conscious, sustainability-minded consumers align with Clan Colla’s values, while the country’s re-export role supports wider Southeast Asian growth. This project provides Ahascragh with a strategic platform to establish Clan Colla as a premium, eco-conscious whiskey in Asia and scale future regional expansion.
