Hyde is presidential quality Irish whiskey named in honour of Ireland’s very first president Douglas Hyde, an inspirational figure who helped to define Ireland’s national identity.
The Hyde family were well-known bar owners at ‘Tinker’s Cross’ just outside Bandon in West Cork, from 1640 to 1962. From here, the Hyde’s would sell fine Irish whiskey and draught stout straight from wooden oak casks that they would tap with a wooden mallet and a brass tap.
HYDE’s bar was famous for always having some of the finest bonded Irish whiskey in West Cork, and today, Alan and Conor Hyde continue this reputation with their line of whiskies.
