The Royal Oak Distillery is a world class distillery producing hand crafted Irish whiskey, proudly located on an 18th century estate in Ireland’s Ancient East region.
The Royal Oak Distillery is the house of The Busker Irish Whiskey where we distill all three styles of Irish whiskey – pot still, malt and grain – under one roof.
Carefully crafting an independent path to an authentic and high-quality Irish whiskey, The Busker balances tradition with innovative and modern techniques. At Royal Oak Distillery we use different casks during the maturation process of ours The Busker whiskeys including bourbon casks, sherry casks, and marsala casks.
A major point of differentiation for The Busker Irish Whiskey takes place during the aging process where the blend, Triple Cask Triple Smooth, and Single Grain expressions mature in rare and selected Cantine Florio (1833) Sicilian Marsala wine casks.
