Where your cask lives

Our family farm
in Co. Carlow, Ireland.

Larch Grove, Ballytarsna, County Carlow. This is where Flying Tumbler began — and it's where your cask will spend its years, quietly becoming something special. We're not some faceless bonded warehouse. This is the Walsh family farm, and we've brought the whole operation home.

These are the coordinates your whiskey comes home to. Every cask in the programme matures right here — not in some anonymous warehouse, but on the farm where this whole adventure began. We handle everything end to end: sourcing, maturation, standardisation, bottling, and all the logistics and customs to get it to you, wherever in the world you are.

Your Name. Your Cask. Your Label.

A bottle the world knows
belongs to you.

Every cask in the programme gets its own bespoke co-branded label — unique to your cohort, your spirit, and your fill. The label carries the details that matter: spirit type, ABV, maturation cask, finishing cask, and maturation warehouse. Presented on Flying Tumbler's own bespoke moulded bottle. That's not off-the-shelf. That's a one-of-a-kind release.

Spirit type, ABV & cask provenance Single malt, single pot still, or single grain — plus your maturation cask, finishing cask, and the exact warehouse it slumbered in.
The Flying Tumbler Cask Series Each bottling is a numbered cohort release — bespoke to your cask, distinct from everything else in our range.
Our own bespoke moulded bottle Presented in Flying Tumbler's signature moulded glass — the brand and the cask reference are part of the bottle itself.
Designed by our in-house creative team The same team behind the Flying Tumbler brand creates your label — premium, distinctive, built to be kept.
Simple as it gets

Four steps to your
piece of Ireland.

1
Irish countryside
Pick your region
Choose from Ireland's five whiskey regions — Wild Atlantic Way, Ancient East, Midlands, Dublin, or Northern Ireland.
2
Barley
Choose your share
From a 1⁄16th gift share to a full cask. Pick your spirit style, finishing cask, and how long you'd like it to mature.
3
Carlow
It matures at Larch Grove
Your cask rests in our family warehouse in Carlow. We send updates. You watch it develop. The Irish air does the work.
4
Proudly Bottled in Ireland
Bottle it your way
When you're ready, we bottle your share with your own label. Your name. Your cask. Your Irish whiskey — finally home.
The spirits

Every Irish whiskey
style. One programme.

Irish whiskey isn't one thing. It's a whole world — pick the style that speaks to you, then choose your finishing cask to make it truly yours.

Single Malt — pure malted barley
Single Malt
Rich & Complex
The classic. Pure malted barley, triple distilled, slow to develop but extraordinary when it does. For those who want depth.
Single Pot Still — uniquely Irish
Single Pot Still
Uniquely Irish
The style that only Ireland produces. A mix of malted and unmalted barley gives a spicy, creamy character unlike anything else in whiskey.
Single Grain — smooth and approachable
Single Grain
Light & Approachable
Column distilled, smooth and quick to mature. A lighter spirit that takes on cask character beautifully — often surprising people with how good it gets.
The Flying Tumbler founders — sharing a dram on the hillside Paddy the pigeon

Meet Paddy. He always comes home.

The Flying Tumbler is a pigeon known for two things: daredevil mid-air acrobatics, and an uncanny ability to find its way back, no matter how far it flies. Paddy is our mascot, our spirit, and our promise — that whatever we do, we find our way back to what matters. Good whiskey, good people, and home.

Just like Paddy, your cask will find its way back to you eventually — in a bottle, with your name on it, from the farm in Carlow where it all began.

Why cask ownership

More than whiskey.
A relationship with Ireland.

Irish Countryside
A genuine connection to somewhere real
Your cask isn't an abstract investment. It's in an actual place — Larch Grove, Ballytarsna, Carlow. On a farm. With people who care about it. You can visit. You can meet the founders. That's not something you get from a bottle off a shelf.
Paddy the pigeon
A story worth telling at the table
Imagine opening a bottle with your name on it and explaining to your guests that it spent three years maturing on an Irish family farm. That you chose the spirit. The cask. The finish. That it is genuinely, entirely yours. Some bottles start conversations. This one starts a legend.
Adventure in Every Bottle
The gift that actually means something
Most gifts are forgotten within a week. This one matures alongside the person you gave it to. Every year it develops, every update brings them back to the moment you gave it — and when it finally bottles, they'll think of you every time they pour a glass.
Limited Drop
Patience rewarded in the most delicious way
There's something quietly brilliant about owning something that gets better the longer you leave it. No checking an app. No stressing about markets. Just the knowledge that somewhere in Carlow, something wonderful is slowly becoming more wonderful.
Proudly Bottled in Ireland
Your name. Your label. Your whiskey.
Every detail of your bottling is yours to customise — your name on the certificate, your label on the bottle, your cask reference on every glass you pour. It is the most personal thing in Irish whiskey. Full stop.
Carlow
A reason to come back to Ireland
Cask owners get an open invitation to Larch Grove. Come and see your cask. Meet the team. Taste what it's becoming. We're working towards an annual gathering — a homecoming for everyone who has a stake in this adventure.

The obvious questions.

Everything you need to know before you build your cask.

Absolutely not. You can enter the programme with a starter share — a perfectly sized gift or personal entry point into Irish whiskey ownership, with no need to commit to a full cask. You choose exactly how much you want. Whether that's a small share for a loved one or a full cask for yourself, the programme works the same way.
Your cask matures in our bonded warehouses at Larch Grove, Ballytarsna, County Carlow — the Walsh family farm, where Flying Tumbler was founded. The facility includes bonded maturation warehouses, a blending lab, and a craft bottling line — all run by the Walsh family team.
You choose — typically between 3 and 10 years. The calculator will walk you through your options based on the spirit style you pick. The longer it matures, the more complexity it develops. There's no rush.
You receive a personalised ownership certificate (beautifully designed, printed and posted to you), a private cask owner portal — your own login, live maturation updates, full cask spec, your certificate, and access to the Flying Tumbler cask owner community. When bottling day comes, your whiskey is bottled with your own custom label and shipped to you.
Yes — and it's one of the most popular ways to use the programme. The ownership certificate can be made out to whoever you're gifting it to, and you can personalise the message. We're also working on gift vouchers — get in touch if you'd like to discuss a bespoke gifting arrangement.
Yes. Cask owners are warmly welcome at Larch Grove — get in touch to arrange a visit. We're also building towards an annual cask owner gathering at the farm. Ireland awaits.
Your Service Fee covers everything to get your whiskey made, matured, and bottled: cask commissioning, production coordination, bonded warehouse storage for your chosen maturation period, and bottling. What's not included: Irish VAT and excise duty (calculated at bottling), shipping costs, and any import taxes in your country. We'll give you a full breakdown of these costs well in advance of bottling day — no surprises.
We don't promise a specific fill date at the time of purchase — production scheduling at our partner distilleries means timelines can move. For full cask buyers, we move quickly once purchase is confirmed. For share buyers, your cask moves to filling once all shares in it are sold. We'll keep you updated throughout, and you'll be notified well in advance of your Fill Date.
We'll be straight with you: this is a bespoke production commitment, so all sales are final. That said, if Flying Tumbler is unable to fulfil your order — for example, if we can't source a suitable distillery or a share cask can't reach full allocation — you'll receive a full refund minus a small admin fee (capped at 5% of what you paid). We think that's fair. Full details are in our Cask Terms & Conditions.
Yes — with our approval. If you want to transfer your cask or share to someone else down the line, give us six months' written notice and we'll work through it with you. We'll update the Cask Register and issue a new certificate to the incoming owner. We don't operate a secondary market ourselves, but we're happy to facilitate transfers on a case-by-case basis.
Great question, and an important one. The US alcohol market operates under a three-tier system, which means bottles can't simply be shipped direct to your door. When your whiskey is ready, we work with licensed importers and distributors to get it into your state and to you through the correct legal channels. We'll guide you through this process — it's something we handle regularly — but it does mean delivery timelines and arrangements vary by state. Get in touch if you want to talk through the specifics for where you are.
