Rupert Egan

Master Bonder

Rupert Egan is the proud member of the 6th generation of the Egans of Tullamore being Henry Egan’s - of the eponymous P & H Egan (estd. 1852) - great, great grandson. Rupert graduated from Trinity College Dublin in 1998 with a BA in Science (Genetics) but left both Science and Ireland shortly afterwards and would spend some 16 years in London working for Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan. Married to Olive, whom he met in college, and with an eye on returning home, Rupert left Investment Banking the day their daughter Millie was born. The family of four - George is two years older than his sister - arrived back in Ireland where Rupert would pursue an almost life-long ambition to rekindle the flame that was Egan's Whiskey. Drawing from his background in Science, Rupert completed his Diploma in Distilling from the Institute of Brewing and Distilling in just three years and subsequently joined his cousin Jonathan Egan in the family business. Rupert is a keen member of the Irish Whiskey Society and regular attendee at IWS events in Dublin, where he now resides.
