The Galway Hooker 8-Year-Old whiskey is available to purchase from all 12 Galway Whiskey Trail outlets. The Galway Whiskey Trail is an experience which combines a journey through the streets of Galway with its famous whiskey bars.


A Whiskey for Sharing

Dark gold in colour, this unique blend delivers an intense fruit flavour that is complemented by spice notes, gentle vanilla qualities, and a delightful finish.

Whiskey drinkers are also sure to appreciate the beautiful, eye-catching bottle design which is inspired by the River Corrib, gorgeous Galway Bay, and the historic Galway Hooker boats which were once used by Galway locals as proud fishing vessels.

Ultimately, the Galway Hooker 8-Year-Old blend is a whiskey that deserves to be shared. Ideal for those who are keen to enjoy new experiences, diverse flavours, and invigorating sensations, this superior blend is certainly one for the whiskey lovers out there – but it’s also for anyone who wants to spend an evening reconnecting with old friends.


A Drink Precedes a Story

After all, the Galway Hooker 8-Year-Old blend carries with it the old Irish saying that ‘a drink precedes a story’. When you pour Galway Hooker 8-Year-Old blend, you can settle in for a catch-up with a friend, a get-together with a group, or a quiet one with your other half. This whiskey was made to be shared, for moments when you have news to tell, joy to impart, and great times to enjoy.
