Richard LOMBARD-CHIBNALL

Richard Lombard-Chibnall founded The Molly Malone Whiskey Company 2019. His family has a rich heritage trading wine and spirits dating to the late 17th century. Richard’s mother, Margaret Lombard-Chibnall, was one of the first women and a founding independent of the whisky industry.

The Molly Malone Whiskey Company has a mission to craft beautiful whiskey celebrating the history, culture and rich taste of Ireland.

Working on years of experience as a leading independent bottler of single cask, single malt, Richard set out to hand select single malt and grains from Ireland’s greatest distilleries.

“Our aim was to create a whiskey that best reflected the style of a triple distilled Irish whiskey. The character was to be sweet and light, with the classic signature crisp note of Irish Whiskey.”

Distilled according to Irish tradition and handcrafted in small batches.

To enhance the finish of the whiskey, without overpowering the light character of the malt, the Small Batch is matured in second fill bourbon casks. Preferred wood is Quercus Alba – the highest grade American white oak.

This beautiful whiskey, light on the palate and deliciously sweet, is a fabulous representation of traditional style, triple distilled Irish Whiskey.

The small batch has since achieved global international acclaim and awards
