The Walsh Whiskey distillery was the brainchild of Bernard and Rosemary Walsh and was founded in Carlow back in 2016 in collaboration with Illva Saronno. In 2019 Illva Saronno took full ownership of the distillery and renamed it Royal Oak Distillery. The distillery produces all three styles of whiskey on-site - grain, malt and pot still with their whiskey trading under the Buskers Irish Whiskey label.
The Buskers Single Grain is matured in first fill ex-bourbon casks and finished in ex-marsala casks. It is bottled at 44.3% abv.
