Blackwater are a micro-distillery based in West Waterford on the banks of The Blackwater River.
THE DISTILLERY TAKES ITS NAME FROM THE NEARBY BLACKWATER RIVER.
Its Irish name is ‘An Abhainn Mhor’ which means ‘The Big River’. And big it certainly is. Sometimes referred to as the ‘Munster Blackwater’, it rises on the Cork, Kerry border and flows due east into Waterford where it makes an abrupt right turn at Cappoquin. From there it flows past the distillery and into the sea at Youghal.
