Ireland’s first all-island whiskey arrives at The Loop, Dublin Airport
Kirker Greer Spirits, part of Drinksology Kirker Greer (DKG Group), has unveiled the Kirker Four Province Blend, a new global travel retail exclusive launching with Aer Rianta International (ARI) at Dublin Airport.
The Four Province Blend follows on from the acclaimed Kirker Four Seasons Collection, further cementing Kirker’s position as a whiskey house dedicated to creating pioneering blends that celebrate Ireland’s distilling heritage.
Crafted by co-founder and blender Richard Ryan in Belfast, the Four Province Blend is the second all-island release from the brand, bringing together liquids from Ulster, Leinster, Connacht and Munster in one bottle. Each province contributes a distinct component: single malts from The Hinch and The Shed distilleries, a single grain from Great Northern Distillery, and a single pot still from West Cork Distillery. The result is a complex, full-flavoured whiskey that balances orchard fruit and roasted nuts with dark chocolate, baking spice and gentle vanilla.
Specially created for the travel retail channel, the whiskey is bottled at 45% ABV, non-chill filtered and with natural colour. A bespoke label design underlines its exclusivity and all-island provenance, making it a compelling proposition for discerning travellers.
Commenting on the launch, Richard Ryan, blender and co-founder of Drinksology Kirker Greer, said:
“The Kirker Four Province Blend is a whiskey that brings Ireland’s distilling story together in one glass. Each province contributes its own character, and by blending them with care we’ve created something layered, robust and truly authentic. With the higher bottling strength and a specially designed label, we’re proud to see it debut with ARI in Dublin Airport, a global gateway for Irish whiskey.”
Damien Smith, Liquor & Tobacco Buyer at ARI Ireland added:
“We are delighted to partner with Kirker Greer Spirits on the exclusive launch of the Kirker Four Province Blend. Dublin Airport is a showcase for the best of Irish whiskey, and this release, with its unique all-island story and elevated presentation, is certain to resonate with our international customers.”
To support the launch, Kirker Greer Spirits hosted sampling activity from 3rd–9th November in Dublin Airport’s Terminal 2, giving transatlantic passengers the opportunity to experience the Kirker Four Province Blend ahead of US departure.
The Kirker Four Province Blend is available now exclusively at The Loop, Dublin Airport, as part of ARI’s global travel retail portfolio.
This latest release builds on the success of the award-winning Kirker Shamrock and the recently launched Kirker Four Seasons Collection, creating a family of blends that showcase Ireland’s whiskey diversity in new and exciting ways. Together, these launches highlight Kirker’s ambition to lead the conversation around all-island blending, bringing innovation, authenticity and a distinctive house style to the global stage.
