Adventure in every drop
An independent, family-owned whiskey from a farm in County Carlow. Three expressions, non-chill filtered, no added colour — and zero customs duty into Canada under CETA.
A farm in Carlow, a whiskey for everywhere you've been
Flying Tumbler is made by brothers Patrick and Thomas Walsh at Larch Grove, Ballytarsna. The name comes from a breed of pigeon that somersaults through the air and never fails to find its way home.
Independent, family-owned, small batch. Casks chosen one at a time and blended on the farm the coordinates on the bottle belong to.
Three expressions, one family
Bourbon and Jamaican rum casks. Banana bread, vanilla, butterscotch. The gateway pour and the cocktail bottle.
First-fill ex-bourbon. Baked apple, citrus peel, honey, light oak. IWSC 2025 Silver, 91 points.
Bourbon, Oloroso sherry and ex-rye casks. Fruit cake, raisin, dark chocolate, rye pepper.
Made the long way round
First-fill casks only
Ex-bourbon at the core, with sherry, rye and Jamaican rum casks chosen by expression.
Non-chill filtered
Nothing stripped out for the sake of a clear bottle in a cold room.
No added colour
The colour in the glass is the colour the cask gave it. Bottled and tubed in Carlow.
A cocktail programme, not just a bottle
Ten built serves with specs, photography and printed menu inserts — supplied free with a listing.
Judged well by people who are not us
IWSC 2025 Silver at 91 points. Silver at the Global Irish Whiskey Masters. 92 points from Whisky Advocate. And in VicDel's own blind tasting, The Bird beat Drumshanbo unanimously on nose, palate, finish and colour.
Pouring and stocked across the West
