Boann Distillery will finish its historically inspired Preston’s Irish Whiskey in just three casks made from the ancient tree, with a release planned for 2027. An Irish oak that stood for approximately 1,000 years is beginning an unexpected second life, not in a museum or stately home, but inside a cooperage. The ancient tree once grew on Preston’s Estate at Swainstown Farm in County Meath, where generations watched it become part of the landscape. When Storm Elin brought it

Luxury whisky and motorsport come together once again as Glenfiddich unveils the second chapter of its collaboration with the Aston Martin Formula One Team, introducing a new limited-edition 16-Year-Old Single Malt inspired by the pursuit of precision, craftsmanship and performance.
